1. Northern directional reference · dominant

   The singular noun marks a location or direction in varied clauses. In Exodus 40:22 the APB renders the table as placed on the "north side" of the tabernacle; in Ezekiel 40:44 it distinguishes the north gate and a chamber facing north; and in Joshua 15:6 the construct form marks a border passing north of Beth-arabah. The same directional reference frames a command to turn north in Deuteronomy 2:3, the king of the north in Daniel 11:6, and an army coming against Tyre from the north in Ezekiel 26:7.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the directional reference with forms such as "north," "northward," "north side," "northern," and "king of the north." Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the clauses' directional setting rather than a fixed English equivalent for every token.
