[13:6]  ¹ tn That is, at the end of the second set of seven days referred to at the end of v. 5, a total of fourteen days after the first appearance before the priest.

[13:6]  ² tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:6]  ³ tn Heb “he shall make him clean.” The verb is the Piel of טָהֵר (taher, “to be clean”). Here it is a so-called “declarative” Piel (i.e., “to declare clean”), but it also implies that the person is put into the category of being “clean” by the pronouncement itself (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 176; cf. the corresponding opposite in v. 3 above).

[13:6]  ⁴ tn On the term “scab” see the note on v. 2 above. Cf. NAB “it was merely eczema”; NRSV “only an eruption”; NLT “only a temporary rash.”

[13:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he shall wash his clothes.”

[13:34]  ⁶ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:34]  ⁷ tn Heb “and its appearance is not deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

[13:34]  ⁸ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[13:56]  ⁹ tn Heb “And if the priest saw and behold….”

[13:56]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he shall tear it from.”

[14:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the one cleansing himself” (i.e., Hitpael participle of טָהֵר [taher, “to be clean”]).

[14:8]  ¹² tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (so ASV). The end result of the ritual procedures in vv. 4-7 and the washing and shaving in v. 8a is that the formerly diseased person has now officially become clean in the sense that he can reenter the community (see v. 8b; contrast living outside the community as an unclean diseased person, Lev 13:46). There are, however, further cleansing rituals and pronouncements for him to undergo in the tabernacle as outlined in vv. 10-20 (see Qal “be[come] clean” in vv. 9 and 20, Piel “pronounce clean” in v. 11, and Hitpael “the one being cleansed” in vv. 11, 14, 17, 18, and 19). Obviously, in order to enter the tabernacle he must already “be clean” in the sense of having access to the community.

[14:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “And it shall be on the seventh day.”

[14:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (see the note on v. 8).

[15:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And a man who touches in his bed”; NLT “touch the man’s bedding.”

[15:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening” (cf. also vv. 6-8, 10-11, etc.).

[15:7]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “And the one who touches in the flesh.” In this instance, “flesh” (or “body”) probably refers literally to any part of the body, not the genitals specifically (see the discussion in J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:914).

[15:8]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”

[15:9]  ¹⁹ tn The Hebrew term for “means of riding” is a cognate noun from the verb “ride” later in this verse. It refers to anything on which one may ride without the feet touching the ground including, for example, a saddle, a (saddle) blanket, or a seat on a chariot (see, e.g., J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:916).

[15:10]  ²⁰ tn Heb “which shall be under him.” The verb is perhaps a future perfect, “which shall have been.”

[15:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “them”; the referent (the previously mentioned items which were under the unclean person) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:11]  ²² tn Heb “And all who the man with the discharge touches in him and his hands he has not rinsed in water.”

[15:12]  ²³ tn The Hebrew term כְּלִי (kÿli) can mean “vessel” (v. 12a) or “utensil, implement, article” (v. 12b). An article of clay would refer to a vessel or container of some sort, while one made of wood would refer to some kind of tool or instrument.

[15:13]  ²⁴ tn For the expression “fresh water” see the note on Lev 14:5 above.

[15:27]  ²⁵ tn See the note on v. 5 above.

[16:26]  ²⁶ tn For “Azazel” see the note on v. 8 above.

[17:15]  ²⁷ tn Heb “And any soul” (נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh).

[17:15]  ²⁸ tn Heb “carcass,” referring to the carcass of an animal that has died on its own, not the carcass of an animal slaughtered for sacrifice or killed by wild beasts. This has been clarified in the translation by supplying the phrase “of natural causes”; cf. NAB “that died of itself”; TEV “that has died a natural death.”

[17:15]  ²⁹ tn Heb “in the native or in the sojourner.”

[17:16]  ³⁰ tn The words “his clothes” are not in the Hebrew text, but are repeated in the translation for clarity.

[17:16]  ³¹ tn Heb “and he shall bear his iniquity.” The rendering “bear the punishment for the iniquity” reflects the use of the word “iniquity” to refer to the punishment for iniquity. This is sometimes referred to as the consequential use of the term (cf. Lev 5:17; 7:18; 10:17; etc.).

[17:16]  sn For the interpretation of this verse reflected in the present translation, see the remarks on Lev 5:1 in J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:292-97.
