riq.qu.a refers to hammered-out items, attested in a plural construct form within a clause about tribal rods.

The lone attestation uses a masculine plural construct form for hammered-out items in a clause concerning the rod assigned to each father's house; the translation does not isolate the term's specific English contribution.

    In Numbers 17:3, רִקֻּעֵי appears as a common masculine plural construct noun within the clause about one rod for the head of each father's house. The APB renders the verse, “Write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi, because there is to be one rod for the head of each father's house,” but its loose wording does not identify a separate English rendering for this term.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Numbers 17:3, the APB presents the wider instruction about Aaron's name and the rod of Levi, without a clearly isolable English equivalent for the term. Its wording cannot establish a more specific rendering.
