    In Jeremiah 37:13, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the Benjamin Gate scene involving Irijah and Jeremiah. The APB renders the verse with Irijah as “the officer in charge,” followed by his arrest of Jeremiah, so the noun’s precise English equivalent cannot be isolated beyond this oversight setting.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 37:13, the APB presents the scene through “the officer in charge” and his arrest of Jeremiah. This phrase cannot be assigned to the noun with certainty.
