    The supplied forms are ordinal adjectives in masculine or feminine singular absolute form, applied to different ordered referents. In Genesis 2:2 the APB renders God ceasing from work “on the seventh day”; in Exodus 23:11 it renders a seventh year in which land is left fallow; in Ezra 3:1 it dates the people's gathering by the seventh month. The same ordinal placement appears in Joshua 19:40 for the lot assigned to Dan and in 1 Chronicles 26:3 for Eliehoenai's place in a list.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the ordinal with phrases such as “the seventh day,” “the seventh month,” and “the seventh year,” and also uses it for a lot or a person's listed place. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these phrases confirm the clauses' ordered settings rather than isolate every occurrence mechanically.
