    In Jeremiah 31:21, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in the command to set up markers while the hearer is told to direct the heart toward the highway and the way traveled, followed by calls to return. The APB renders the clause, "Set up signposts for yourself,".

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 31:21, the APB presents the clause as "Set up signposts for yourself"; This rendering confirms the verse's route-setting context rather than isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
