Senses in use

  1. A listed bodily skin condition · dominant

    In Leviticus 21:20, the feminine singular absolute noun is listed with physical conditions affecting a person. In Leviticus 22:22, the same form occurs in a list of defects in animals that are not to be presented; the APB includes “scab” in both lists.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB includes “scab” in both Leviticus 21:20 and Leviticus 22:22, each within a list of bodily defects. This rendering is treated as confirmation of the list's overall sense.
