In Deuteronomy 32:18, the Qal imperfect second masculine singular form addresses a male singular subject in the clause following “The Rock begot you.” The APB renders the verse, “The Rock begot you; you forgot the God who gave you birth.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Deuteronomy 32:18, the APB presents the clause as “you forgot the God who gave you birth.” This rendering confirms the verse’s overall accusation without isolating every element of the Hebrew form.
