    In Leviticus 13:23, the construct singular form occurs in the identification of a spot that remains and has not spread after a boil; the APB renders the clause "it is a scar of the boil." In Leviticus 13:28, the same form identifies the condition after a burn, with the APB rendering "it is a scar of the burn."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clause as "a scar of the boil" in Leviticus 13:23 and "a scar of the burn" in Leviticus 13:28. These renderings confirm the verse-level identification rather than isolate the term mechanically.
