In Judges 9:49, the masculine singular construct form occurs in the clause where each person cuts his branch and the branches are placed on the stronghold. The APB renders the action, “cut each one his branch,” before describing the fire.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Judges 9:49, the APB presents the term within “cut each one his branch”; This wording confirms the clause's action rather than isolating the term mechanically.
