    In Judges 5:11, the Piel imperfect plural form occurs in the clause concerning the LORD's righteous acts; the APB renders the clause, "there they recount the righteous acts of the LORD." In Judges 11:40, the Piel infinitive construct occurs in the daughters of Israel's yearly action concerning Jephthah's daughter, where the APB presents the observance as going "to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the Judges 5:11 clause with "recount" and presents the annual action in Judges 11:40 as "lament." This variation describes the verses' presentation rather than establishing separate lexical senses.
