    In Leviticus 13:19 and Leviticus 13:24, the feminine singular form qualifies a bright spot associated with a boil or a burn; the APB renders the descriptions as a "white reddish bright spot" and a "white reddish" spot. In Leviticus 13:42, Leviticus 13:43, and Leviticus 13:49, singular forms describe the appearance of a plague in baldness or in a garment, skin article, warp, or mixture; Leviticus 14:37 uses the feminine plural form for depressions in house walls, rendered by the APB as "greenish or reddish depressions."

In the Anselm Paraphrase: Across these verses, the APB repeatedly presents the relevant visible quality with "reddish," often paired with "white" or "greenish." Because the APB is a whole-verse paraphrase rather than a word-aligned translation, these renderings identify the clause's overall presentation rather than a precise token-by-token equivalent.
