Imamat 14:57

14:57 to teach when something is unclean and when it is clean. ¹  This is the law for dealing with infectious disease.” ² 

Imamat 24:4

24:4 On the ceremonially pure lampstand ³  he must arrange the lamps before the Lord continually.

[14:57]  ¹ tn Heb “to teach in the day of the unclean and in the day of the clean.”

[14:57]  ² tn Heb “This is the law of the disease.” Some English versions specify this as “skin disease” (e.g., NIV, NLT), but then have to add “and (+ infectious NLT) mildew” (so NIV) because a house would not be infected with a skin disease.

[14:57]  sn For an explanation of the term “disease” see Lev 13:2.

[24:4]  ³ tn Alternatively, “pure [gold] lampstand,” based on Exod 25:31, etc., where the term for “gold” actually appears (see NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT, and the remarks in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 395, etc.). However, in Lev 24:4 the adjective “pure” is feminine, corresponding to “lampstand,” not an assumed noun “gold” (contrast Exod 25:31), and the “table” in v. 6 was overlaid with gold, but was not made of pure gold. Therefore, it is probably better to translate “[ceremonially] pure lampstand” (v. 4) and “[ceremonially] pure table” (v. 6); see NEB; cf. KJV, ASV; B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 164-65; and G. J. Wenham, Leviticus [NICOT], 307.
