   In Ezekiel 24:5, the Piel imperative occurs in instructions concerning the flock and bones; the APB renders the clause “boil its boilings and boil its bones within it.” In Job 30:27, the Pual perfect plural occurs with “My belly,” and the APB renders “My belly boils and is not stationary” amid affliction. Job 41:23 has a Hiphil imperfect form, but the APB rendering of that verse does not make the term's specific English correspondence clear.
