the inflamed boil
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root idea of heat and inflammation (שחן) by using "inflamed," while "boil" captures the specific nominal form denoting a severe, localized skin lesion. The definite article הַ is preserved as "the," and the singular masculine noun is rendered in singular form. |
