    In Jeremiah 39:3, the singular masculine noun stands with Nergal-sar-ezer among the rulers who came and sat in the middle gate; the APB renders the name and title as “Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag.” In Jeremiah 39:13, the same form again identifies Nergal-sar-ezer within the group of Babylonian officials who sent.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term as “Rab-mag” following Nergal-sar-ezer’s name. It confirms the title-like presentation rather than isolating a fuller English meaning.
