ye.raq.raq describes a color-like appearance in plague inspections, while its contribution in Psalm 68:14 is not isolated by the APB.

The attested use most clearly describes the appearance of a plague in garment, skin, or house-wall inspection contexts; the form in Psalm 68:14 is present in a construct form, but the APB does not isolate its contribution there.

Senses in use

  1. Color-like description of an observed plague · dominant

    In Leviticus 13:49, the masculine singular absolute form occurs where a plague appears in a garment, skin, warp, mixture, or skin article; the APB renders the clause “the plague appears greenish or reddish.” In Leviticus 14:37, the feminine plural absolute form describes depressions in house walls, rendered by the APB as “hollow greenish or reddish depressions.” Psalm 68:14 has a masculine singular construct form, but its APB rendering does not make this term's specific contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “greenish” in Leviticus 13:49 and Leviticus 14:37 within plague-inspection clauses. In Psalm 68:14, its translation does not separately reflect the term.
