Exegesis
Sheka’aru-rot {שְׁקַעֲרוּרוֹת | še-qā-ʿa-rōt} ‘hollow places’ functions as a noun phrase modified by the adjectives yerakrakot {יְרַקְרַקֹּת | yə-ra-qra-qōt} ‘greenish spots’ and adamdamot {אֲדַמְדַּמֹּות | ʾa-dam-da-mōt} ‘reddish spots’, setting color criteria.
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.
