In Isaiah 44:13, the singular masculine absolute noun occurs in a sequence of a woodworker measuring, marking, shaping, and marking out a human figure. The APB renders the relevant clause, "he marks it out with a stylus,".
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 44:13, the APB presents the term within the woodworker's marking activity as "with a stylus." This rendering is treated as confirmation of the clause rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
