Imamat 13:13

13:13 the priest must then examine it, ¹  and if ²  the disease covers his whole body, he is to pronounce the person with the infection clean. ³  He has turned all white, so he is clean. ⁴ 

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 13:56

13:56 But if the priest has examined it and ¹¹  the infection has faded after it has been washed, he is to tear it out of ¹²  the garment or the leather or the warp or the woof.

Imamat 14:37

14:37 He is to examine the infection, and if ¹³  the infection in the walls of the house consists of yellowish green or reddish eruptions, ¹⁴  and it appears to be deeper than the surface of the wall, ¹⁵ 

Imamat 14:44

14:44 the priest is to come and examine it, and if ¹⁶  the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant disease in the house. It is unclean.

Imamat 14:48

14:48 “If, however, the priest enters ¹⁷  and examines it, and the ¹⁸  infection has not spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest is to pronounce the house clean because the infection has been healed.

Imamat 25:20

25:20 If you say, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow and gather our produce?’

[13:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and the priest shall see.” The pronoun “it” is unexpressed, but it should be assumed and it refers to the infection (cf. the note on v. 8 above).

[13:13]  ² tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

[13:13]  ³ tn Heb “he shall pronounce the infection clean,” but see v. 4 above. Also, this is another use of the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher; cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[13:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “all of him has turned white, and he is clean.”

[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.

[13:56]  ¹¹ tn Heb “And if the priest saw and behold….”

[13:56]  ¹² tn Heb “and he shall tear it from.”

[14:37]  ¹³ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[14:37]  ¹⁴ 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]  ¹⁵ 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]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “If he sees that the mark has indeed spread.”

[14:48]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “And if the priest entering [infinitive absolute] enters [finite verb]” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[14:48]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “and the mark has not indeed spread.”
