Almond tree, branch, and fruit · dominant
The singular form occurs with a tree that blossoms in Ecclesiastes 12:5 and with a branch that Jeremiah sees in Jeremiah 1:11; in both clauses the APB renders almond-tree imagery. The plural form in Genesis 43:11 occurs among items carried as a present, where the APB renders the list with “almonds.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the singular occurrences as “the almond tree” and “a branch of an almond tree,” while Genesis 43:11 renders the plural as “almonds.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
