Gold presented as refined · dominant
In 1 Kings 10:18, the form מוּפָֽז is a Hophal passive participle, masculine singular absolute, describing gold associated with the throne. The APB renders the verse, “The king made a large throne of ivory and overlaid it with refined gold.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Kings 10:18, the APB presents the relevant clause as “overlaid it with refined gold.” This rendering confirms the verse context rather than isolating the term's exact English equivalent.
