All four occurrences use the masculine singular absolute noun in lists or descriptions of garments. In Exodus 31:10 and Exodus 35:19 the APB renders the surrounding clauses as garments for ministering; Exodus 39:1 describes their making from blue, purple, and scarlet material, and Exodus 39:41 again places them with garments for Aaron and his sons.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding phrase with variation: “braided garments” in Exodus 31:10 and Exodus 39:1, “service garments” in Exodus 35:19, and “garments of the braiding” in Exodus 39:41. These phrases confirm the garment context rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
