Senses in use

  1. Tearing garments or garments torn · dominant

    In Leviticus 10:6, the Qal imperfect addresses Aaron's sons in a prohibition concerning their garments; in Leviticus 21:10, the Qal imperfect similarly prohibits the priest from doing so. In Leviticus 13:45, the Qal passive participle describes the afflicted person's garments as already in that condition; the APB renders the clauses with “tear your garments” and “torn garments.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as “tear your garments” in Leviticus 10:6 and Leviticus 21:10, and describes “torn garments” in Leviticus 13:45. These are clause-level renderings rather than definitions.
