Senses in use

  1. Becoming manifest as an affliction or plague · dominant

    In Exodus 9:9 and Exodus 9:10, the masculine singular active participle occurs in the clause about boils on people and animals; the APB renders these as boils "breaking out in blisters." In Leviticus 13:12, Leviticus 13:20, and Leviticus 13:42, forms of the verb occur in clauses concerning a skin condition or plague, while in Leviticus 14:43 the sequential perfect occurs when the plague returns in a house after stones have been removed and the house replastered; the APB renders it "breaks out in the house."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB repeatedly uses "breaking out," "has broken out," or "breaks out" for the surrounding clauses about boils, skin conditions, and a house plague. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings indicate the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
