    In Job 41:21, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause describing kindled coals and flame; the APB renders the verse, “His soul kindles coals, and flame comes out from his lip.” The translation does not isolate the noun’s specific English counterpart.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 41:21, the APB presents the surrounding image as “His soul kindles coals, and flame comes out from his lip,” but its loose phrasing does not identify a distinct rendering for the noun.
