    In 2 Samuel 22:37, the feminine dual construct form occurs in the clause about a wide place for steps and feet that did not slip; the APB renders the verse, “You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.” In Psalm 18:37, the same form occurs in a pursuit clause; the APB renders, “I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back until they were consumed.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB does not visibly isolate this term in either translation. It presents the surrounding movement imagery through “steps,” “feet,” and pursuit.
