v. 2a – The definite article found on הָרֹ֗אשׁ and הַזָּקָ֥ן, while later specified by the appositive זְקַֽן־אַהֲרֹ֑ן "the beard of Aaron," could also be interpreted as kind reference (i.e., "generic,"),[1] as indicated by the Spanish la cabeza and la barba (RVR95) and French la tête and la barbe.[2]
