Exegesis
The comparative phrase umareihen shafal min-hakir {וּמַרְאֵיהֶן שָׁפָל מִן־הַקִּיר | u-mar-ʾē-hen šā-p̄al min ha-qîr} ‘and their appearance is lower than the wall’ expresses depth relative to the surface. The Hebrew employs repetition (hannega) for emphasis and construct chains for precision, which the translation preserves by mirroring sequence and technical vocabulary.
In context — Leviticus 14:37
And he shall examine the affliction , and behold, if the affliction is on the walls of the house in hollow places of greenish or reddish hue, and their appearance is lower than the wall.
