ta.la describes visible markings on flock animals, with isolated uses for patched sandals and a variegated garment setting.

The predominant use describes flock animals distinguished by visible markings in Genesis 30:32, Genesis 30:33, Genesis 30:35, and Genesis 30:39. Isolated occurrences occur with patched sandals in Joshua 9:5 and with garments and high places of various colors in Ezekiel 16:16.

1. Marked animals in a flock · dominant

   In Genesis 30:32, Genesis 30:33, Genesis 30:35, and Genesis 30:39, the passive participial forms identify sheep, goats, or young within descriptions that distinguish them by visible markings. The APB renders these animal descriptions with terms such as “spotted,” “speckled,” and “striped.”

2. Patched footwear · rare

   In Joshua 9:5, the feminine plural passive participle occurs with sandals described as old; the APB renders the phrase “old patched sandals on their feet.” This is a concrete use concerning the altered appearance of the footwear.

3. Variegated garment setting · rare

   In Ezekiel 16:16, the feminine plural passive participle occurs in the statement about taking garments and making high places. The APB renders the resulting high places as being “of various colors,” though the translation does not isolate the term's precise English contribution.

   Ezekiel 16:16

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Genesis 30:32, Genesis 30:33, Genesis 30:35, and Genesis 30:39, the APB presents the relevant animal descriptions with “spotted,” “speckled,” and “striped.” In Joshua 9:5 it has “patched,” while Ezekiel 16:16 has “various colors”; These renderings indicate the verse contexts rather than fixed one-for-one equivalents.
