1. Exposed or without covering · dominant

   In Isaiah 13:2, the Niphal participle occurs in the command concerning a mountain on which a banner is raised; the APB renders the setting as “a bare mountain.” In Job 33:21, the Pual sequential perfect occurs as the man’s flesh wastes away, and the APB renders the resulting condition as his bones being “laid bare.”

   Isaiah 13:2Job 33:21

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two clauses with “a bare mountain” in Isaiah 13:2 and bones “laid bare” in Job 33:21. These renderings confirm the verses’ shared presentation of exposure rather than fixing a separate English equivalent in each clause.
