    In Genesis 40:10, the masculine plural form occurs in the clause describing three on a vine as it sprouts, blossoms, and produces grape clusters; the APB renders the verse with “three tendrils.” Genesis 40:12 again uses the masculine plural form when Joseph interprets the three as three days. In Joel 1:7, the construct form occurs in the description of a vine stripped bare; the APB renders the final clause “its branches have turned white.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “tendrils” in Genesis 40:10 and Genesis 40:12, and describes “branches” in the stripped vine of Joel 1:7. These English terms indicate the verse-level presentation rather than fixed lexical equivalents.
