    In Isaiah 29:21, the Qal imperfect masculine plural form occurs in the clause concerning the one who rebukes at the gate; the APB renders that clause, "for the one who rebukes in the gate they set a lure."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 29:21, the APB presents the clause as opponents who "set a lure" for the one rebuking at the gate. This rendering confirms the clause's setting rather than isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
