  1. A land-swarming creature in an unclean list · dominant

    In Leviticus 11:29, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the list of creatures that are unclean among those swarming on the land; the APB renders the list as including “the lizard according to its kind.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Leviticus 11:29, the APB presents the term within an unclean-creature list as “the lizard according to its kind.” That wording confirms the verse’s presentation rather than isolating every feature of the Hebrew term.
