In Exodus 28:39, the Piel sequential perfect addresses a singular male in the instruction concerning a linen tunic; the APB renders the clause, "You shall weave the tunic of linen." In Exodus 28:20, the passive participle describes the fourth-row items in relation to gold settings; the APB renders, "they shall be woven with gold in their settings."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with "weave" for the linen tunic in Exodus 28:39 and "woven" for the items with gold settings in Exodus 28:20. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
