The adjective marks the color of water in 2 Kings 3:22, where the APB renders the water as “red as blood”; it also describes clothing in Isaiah 63:2, a heifer in Numbers 19:2, and the beloved in Song of Songs 5:10. In Zechariah 1:8 and Zechariah 6:2, it modifies horses, with the APB rendering them “red.”
In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the color directly as “red” for clothing, a heifer, and horses, and as “red as blood” for water; for the beloved it uses “ruddy.” Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish separate meanings.
