In Genesis 10:3 and 1 Chronicles 1:6, the APB renders the name in lists of Gomer’s sons; in Ezekiel 27:14 it renders “the house of Togarmah” as giving horses, horsemen, and mules, and in Ezekiel 38:6 it places that house with its bands among many peoples.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Togarmah” in the genealogical lists and as “the house of Togarmah” in both Ezekiel passages. These renderings confirm the clauses’ presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the form.
