    In Leviticus 13:30, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the condition that the scab contains the described thin hair; the APB renders the clause "there is yellow thin hair in it." Leviticus 13:32 contrasts the absence of such hair, while Leviticus 13:36 says the priest need not examine it when the scab has spread; the APB renders "yellow hair" in both clauses.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "yellow thin hair" in Leviticus 13:30 and "yellow hair" in Leviticus 13:32 and Leviticus 13:36. These phrases only indicate how the clauses are presented.
