In Nehemiah 3:31, the masculine singular absolute noun identifies Malchijah by his craft as he strengthens a section; the APB renders the clause “Malchijah son of the goldsmith strengthened the section.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Nehemiah 3:31, the APB presents the term in the phrase “son of the goldsmith”; It does not independently isolate the term's contribution beyond that identification.
