1. Scheduled turn to go to the king · common

   In Esther 2:12, the singular construct form occurs in the clause before a young woman goes in to King Ahasuerus after prescribed preparations. In Esther 2:15, the same singular construct form marks the point when Esther goes to the king; the APB renders the surrounding clause, “When the turn came for Esther.”

   In Song of Songs 1:10, the plural absolute form is associated with lovely cheeks and ornaments. In Song of Songs 1:11, the plural construct form occurs in a promise to make gold items with silver; the APB renders the verse with “gold turtledoves” and “speckled silver,”.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB plainly presents the Esther clauses as a woman’s “turn.” In Song of Songs it presents ornaments, beads, gold, and silver, but its translation does not isolate the lemma’s specific English rendering.
