Imamat 14:54-57
Konteks14:54 “This is the law for all diseased infections, for scall, 6 14:55 for the diseased garment, 7 for the house, 8 14:56 for the swelling, 9 for the scab, 10 and for the bright spot, 11 14:57 to teach when something is unclean and when it is clean. 12 This is the law for dealing with infectious disease.” 13
Imamat 15:32-33
Konteks15:32 This is the law of the one with a discharge: the one who has a seminal emission 14 and becomes unclean by it, 15 15:33 the one who is sick in her menstruation, the one with a discharge, whether male or female, 16 and a man 17 who has sexual intercourse with an unclean woman.’”
[7:37] 1 sn The Hebrew term translated “law” (תוֹרָה [torah]) occurs up to this point in the book only in Lev 6:9 [6:2 HT], 14 [7 HT], 25 [18 HT], 7:1, 7, 11, and here in 7:37. This suggests that Lev 7:37-38 is a summary of only this section of the book (i.e., Lev 6:8 [6:1 HT]-7:36), not all of Lev 1-7.
[7:37] 2 tc In the MT only “the grain offering” lacks a connecting ו (vav). However, many Hebrew , Smr, LXX, Syriac, and some
[7:37] 3 sn The inclusion of the “ordination offering” (מִלּוּאִים, milu’im; the term apparently comes from the notion of “filling [of the hand],” cf. Lev 8:33) here anticipates Lev 8. It is a kind of peace offering, as the regulations in Lev 8:22-32 will show (cf. Exod 29:19-34). In the context of the ordination ritual for the priests it fits into the sequence of offerings as a peace offering would: sin offering (Lev 8:14-17), burnt and grain offering (Lev 8:18-21), and finally peace (i.e., ordination) offering (Lev 8:22-32). Moreover, in this case, Moses received the breast of the ordination offering as his due since he was the presiding priest over the sacrificial procedures (Lev 8:29; cf. Lev 7:30-31), while Aaron and his sons ate the portions that would have been consumed by the common worshipers in a regular peace offering procedure (Exod 29:31-34; cf. Lev 7:15-18). For a general introduction to the peace offering see the note on Lev 3:1.
[13:59] 4 sn The Hebrew term translated “law” (תוֹרָה, torah) introduces here a summary or colophon for all of Lev 13. Similar summaries are found in Lev 7:37-38; 11:46-47; 14:54-57; and 15:32-33.
[13:59] 5 tn These are declarative Piel forms of the verbs טָהֵר (taher) and טָמֵא (tame’) respectively (cf. the notes on vv. 3 and 6 above).
[14:54] 6 tn Heb “and for the scall”; NASB “a scale”; NIV “any infectious skin disease.” Cf. Lev 13:29-37.
[14:55] 7 sn Cf. Lev 13:47-59.
[14:55] 8 sn Cf. Lev 14:33-53.
[14:56] 9 sn Cf. Lev 13:9-28, 43.
[14:56] 11 sn Cf. Lev 13:4, 18-28, 38-39. For explanations of all these terms for disease in Lev 14:56 see 13:2.
[14:57] 12 tn Heb “to teach in the day of the unclean and in the day of the clean.”
[14:57] 13 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.
[15:32] 14 tn Heb “and who a lying of seed goes out from him.”
[15:32] 15 tn Heb “to become unclean in it.”
[15:33] 16 tn Heb “and the one with a discharge, his discharge to the male and the female.”
