Imamat 13:36

13:36 then the priest is to examine it, and if ⁵  the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. ⁶  The person ⁷  is unclean.

Imamat 13:39

13:39 the priest is to examine them, ⁸  and if ⁹  the bright spots on the skin of their body are faded white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin. The person is clean. ¹⁰ 

Imamat 13:58

13:58 But the garment or the warp or the woof or any article of leather which you wash and infection disappears from it ¹¹  is to be washed a second time and it will be clean.”

Imamat 20:9-11

Family Life and Sexual Prohibitions ²³ 

20:9 “‘If anyone ²⁴  curses his father and mother ²⁵  he must be put to death. He has cursed his father and mother; his blood guilt is on himself. ²⁶  20:10 If a man ²⁷  commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, ²⁸  both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. 20:11 If a man has sexual intercourse with his father’s wife, he has exposed his father’s nakedness. ²⁹  Both of them must be put to death; their blood guilt is on themselves. ³⁰

26:41 (and I myself will walk in hostility against them and bring them into the land of their enemies), and ³⁹  then their uncircumcised hearts become humbled and they make up for ⁴⁰  their iniquity,

[7:17]  ¹ tn Heb “burned with fire,” an expression which is sometimes redundant in English, but here means “burned up,” “burned up entirely” (likewise in v. 19).

[12:2]  ² tn Heb “produces seed” (Hiphil of זָרַע, zara’; used only elsewhere in Gen 1:11-12 for plants “producing” their own “seed”), referring to the process of childbearing as a whole, from conception to the time of birth (H. D. Preuss, TDOT 4:144; cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 164-65; and J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:742-43). Smr and LXX have Niphal “be impregnated” (see, e.g., Num 5:28); note KJV “If a woman have conceived seed” (cf. ASV, NAB, NRSV; also NIV, NLT “becomes pregnant”).

[12:2]  ³ sn The regulations for the “male child” in vv. 2-4 contrast with those for the “female child” in v. 5 (see the note there).

[12:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “as the days of the menstrual flow [nom.] of her menstruating [q. inf.] she shall be unclean” (R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-26; the verb appears only in this verse in the OT). Cf. NASB “as in the days of her menstruation”; NLT “during her menstrual period”; NIV “during her monthly period.”

[12:2]  sn See Lev 15:19-24 for the standard purity regulations for a woman’s menstrual period.

[13:36]  ⁵ tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:36]  ⁶ tn Heb “the priest shall not search to the reddish yellow hair.”

[13:36]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the affected person) is specified in the translation for clarity (likewise in the following verse).

[13:39]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the priest shall see.”

[13:39]  ⁹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:39]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he,” but the regulation applies to a man or a woman (v. 38a). In the translation “the person” is used to specify the referent more clearly.

[13:58]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the infection turns aside from them.”

[14:37]  ¹² tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[14:37]  ¹³ tn For “yellowish green and reddish” see Lev 13:49. The Hebrew term translated “eruptions” occurs only here and its meaning is uncertain. For a detailed summary of the issues and views see J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:870. The suggestions include, among others: (1) “depressions” from Hebrew שׁקע (“sink”) or קער as the root of the Hebrew term for “bowl” (LXX, Targums, NAB, NASB, NIV; see also B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 90), (2) “streaks” (ASV, NJPS), (3) and “eruptions” as a loan-word from Egyptian sqr r rwtj (“eruption; rash”); cf. Milgrom, 870; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 198-99. The latter view is taken here.

[14:37]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew term קִיר (qir,“wall”) refers to the surface of the wall in this case, which normally consisted of a coating of plaster made of limestone and sand (see HALOT 1099 s.v. קִיר 1.a; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:871; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 199).

[14:44]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “If he sees that the mark has indeed spread.”

[15:31]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “And you shall.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NCV, NRSV).

[15:31]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and they.” Here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) indicates a negative purpose (“lest,” so NAB, NASB).

[19:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “from the following day” (HALOT 572 s.v. מָחֳרָת 2.b).

[19:6]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “shall be burned with fire”; KJV “shall be burnt in the fire.” Because “to burn with fire” is redundant in contemporary English the present translation simply has “must be burned up.”

[20:6]  ²⁰ sn For structure and coherence in Lev 20:6-27 see the note on v. 27 below.

[20:6]  ²¹ tn See the note on the phrase “familiar spirits” in Lev 19:31 above.

[20:6]  ²² tn Heb “I will give my faces.”

[20:9]  ²³ sn Compare the regulations in Lev 18:6-23.

[20:9]  ²⁴ tn Heb “If a man a man who.”

[20:9]  ²⁵ tn Heb “makes light of his father and his mother.” Almost all English versions render this as some variation of “curses his father or mother.”

[20:9]  ²⁶ tn Heb “his blood [plural] is in him.” Cf. NAB “he has forfeited his life”; TEV “is responsible for his own death.”

[20:9]  sn The rendering “blood guilt” refers to the fact that the shedding of blood brings guilt on those who shed it illegitimately (even the blood of animals shed illegitimately, Lev 17:4; cf. the background of Gen 4:10-11). If the community performs a legitimate execution, however, the blood guilt rests on the person who has been legitimately executed (see the remarks and literature cited in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 328).

[20:10]  ²⁷ tn Heb “And a man who.” The syntax here and at the beginning of the following verses elliptically mirrors that of v. 9, which justifies the rendering as a conditional clause.

[20:10]  ²⁸ tc The reading of the LXX minuscule mss has been followed here (see the BHS footnote a-a). The MT has a dittography, repeating “a man who commits adultery with the wife of” (see the explanation in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 328). The duplication found in the MT is reflected in some English versions, e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV.

[20:11]  ²⁹ sn See the note on Lev 18:7 above.

[20:11]  ³⁰ tn See the note on v. 9 above.

[22:6]  ³¹ sn The phrase “any of these” refers back to the unclean things touched in vv. 4b-5.

[22:11]  ³² tn Heb “and a priest, if he buys a person, the property of his silver.”

[22:11]  ³³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the person whom the priest has purchased) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:11]  ³⁴ tn Heb “eat it”; the referent (the holy offerings) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:11]  ³⁵ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the priest) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:11]  ³⁶ tn Heb “and the [slave] born of his house, they shall eat in his food.” The LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., Tg. Ps.-J., and some mss of Smr have plural “ones born,” which matches the following plural “they” pronoun and the plural form of the verb.

[25:45]  ³⁷ tn The word “slaves” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied here.

[25:45]  ³⁸ tn Heb “family which is” (i.e., singular rather than plural).

[26:41]  ³⁹ tn Heb “or then,” although the LXX has “then” and the Syriac “and then.”

[26:41]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “and then they make up for.” On the verb “make up for” see the note on v. 34 above.
