In Ezekiel 30:21, the plural absolute form occurs in the clause about binding Pharaoh's broken arm, and the APB renders the action as applying "remedies" before placing a bandage. In Jeremiah 30:13 and Jeremiah 46:11, the forms occur where no healing is available despite remedies being absent or multiplied; the APB renders "healing remedies" and "remedies."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "remedies" in Ezekiel 30:21 and Jeremiah 46:11, and "healing remedies" in Jeremiah 30:13. These renderings show the clauses' healing context rather than a precise token-by-token equivalence.
