   In Leviticus 13:24, the construct forms occur in the clause concerning flesh that has a fire burn and the condition that follows it. In Leviticus 13:25 and Leviticus 13:28, the absolute form identifies the affected area in which the priest examines a bright spot and distinguishes an outbreak from a scar; the APB renders these clauses with “the burn.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term’s setting as “a burn from fire” in Leviticus 13:24 and as “the burn” in Leviticus 13:25 and Leviticus 13:28. These renderings confirm the clause’s setting rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
