    In Genesis 41:42, the construct singular form occurs in the action of setting a gold neck ornament on Joseph; the APB renders the clause "set a necklace of gold on his neck." In Ezekiel 16:11, the absolute singular form appears among adornments placed on the person, and the APB renders "a necklace around your neck."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the item as "a necklace of gold" in Genesis 41:42 and "a necklace" in Ezekiel 16:11. These renderings confirm the verse-level setting rather than establish a finer distinction.
