In Isaiah 16:8, the feminine plural construct form occurs in the description of the vine of Sebam after its tendrils are struck and before its growth is said to reach Jazer and pass over the sea. The APB renders the closing image with “her shoots were left and passed over the sea,”.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 16:8, the APB presents the vine imagery with “her shoots were left and passed over the sea.” This identifies the verse’s image rather than a precise one-to-one rendering.
