The plural absolute form occurs in lists of ornamental items. In Judges 8:21 and Judges 8:26, the APB renders the items as “crescent ornaments” and “crescents” in connection with camels’ necks; in Isaiah 3:18, it renders them “crescents” among articles of beauty.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “crescents” in Isaiah 3:18 and Judges 8:26, and as “crescent ornaments” in Judges 8:21. These renderings confirm the verses’ presentation of ornamental objects rather than establish finer distinctions.
