Imamat 13:55

13:55 The priest must then examine it after the infection has been washed out, and if ¹  the infection has not changed its appearance ²  even though the infection has not spread, it is unclean. You must burn it up in the fire. It is a fungus, whether on the back side or front side of the article. ³ 

Imamat 23:18

23:18 Along with the loaves of bread, ⁴  you must also present seven flawless yearling lambs, ⁵  one young bull, ⁶  and two rams. ⁷  They are to be a burnt offering to the Lord along with their grain offering ⁸  and drink offerings, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord. ⁹ 

[13:55]  ¹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:55]  ² tn Heb “the infection has not changed its eye.” Smr has “its/his eyes,” as in vv. 5 and 37, but here it refers to the appearance of the article of cloth or leather, unlike vv. 5 and 37 where there is a preposition attached and it refers to the eyes of the priest.

[13:55]  ³ tn The terms “back side” and “front side” are the same as those used in v. 42 for the “back or front bald area” of a man’s head. The exact meaning of these terms when applied to articles of cloth or leather is uncertain. It could refer, for example, to the inside versus the outside of a garment, or the back versus the front side of an article of cloth or leather. See J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:814, for various possibilities.

[23:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “And you shall present on the bread.”

[23:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “seven flawless lambs, sons of a year.”

[23:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “and one bull, a son of a herd.”

[23:18]  ⁷ tc Smr and LXX add “flawless.”

[23:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “and their grain offering.”

[23:18]  ⁹ sn See the note on Lev 1:9.
