   In Exodus 25:29 and Exodus 37:16, plural construct forms occur in lists of articles belonging to the table; the APB renders those lists with “dishes” among palms, bowls, and jugs. In Numbers 7:13, the singular construct form heads an offering inventory in which the APB renders one silver “dish,” weighed and paired with a silver bowl; Numbers 7:84 and Numbers 7:85 likewise summarize plural and singular silver vessels.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the item as “dish” or “dishes” in the supplied inventories. This rendering is confirmed chiefly by the item’s repeated position alongside bowls and other vessels.
