Imamat 13:6

13:6 The priest must then examine it again on the seventh day, ¹  and if ²  the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person clean. ³  It is a scab, ⁴  so he must wash his clothes ⁵  and be clean.

Imamat 13:15

13:15 so the priest is to examine the raw flesh ⁶  and pronounce him unclean ⁷  – it is diseased.

Imamat 14:32

14:32 This is the law of the one in whom there is a diseased infection, ⁸  who does not have sufficient means for his purification.” ⁹ 

[13:6]  ¹ tn That is, at the end of the second set of seven days referred to at the end of v. 5, a total of fourteen days after the first appearance before the priest.

[13:6]  ² tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:6]  ³ tn Heb “he shall make him clean.” The verb is the Piel of טָהֵר (taher, “to be clean”). Here it is a so-called “declarative” Piel (i.e., “to declare clean”), but it also implies that the person is put into the category of being “clean” by the pronouncement itself (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 176; cf. the corresponding opposite in v. 3 above).

[13:6]  ⁴ tn On the term “scab” see the note on v. 2 above. Cf. NAB “it was merely eczema”; NRSV “only an eruption”; NLT “only a temporary rash.”

[13:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he shall wash his clothes.”

[13:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “and the priest shall see the living flesh.”

[13:15]  ⁷ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’; cf. the note on v. 3 above).

[14:32]  ⁸ tn Heb “This is the law of who in him [is] a diseased infection.”

[14:32]  ⁹ tn Heb “who his hand does not reach in his purification”; NASB “whose means are limited for his cleansing”; NIV “who cannot afford the regular offerings for his cleansing.”
