Senses in use

  1. A named skin condition in examination lists · dominant

    In Leviticus 13:2, the feminine singular absolute form is listed with an elevation and a bright spot on the skin, in a clause that leads to examination by Aaron or a priest. In Leviticus 14:56, the same form appears again in the summary list, where the APB renders the sequence “the elevation, the scab, and the bright spot.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term within repeated lists of skin conditions, rendering “a scab” in Leviticus 13:2 and “the scab” in Leviticus 14:56. These renderings are treated as confirmation of the list context.
