Skin placed over bodies · dominant
In Ezekiel 37:6, the first-person sequential perfect occurs in the promise that skin will be put over the addressed bodies after sinews and flesh. In Ezekiel 37:8, the third-person masculine singular sequential imperfect occurs when skin comes over them from above; the APB renders the clause “skin covered them from above.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with “I will cover you with skin” in Ezekiel 37:6 and “skin covered them from above” in Ezekiel 37:8. These render the clauses rather than establishing a separate meaning.
