Imamat 15:21

15:21 Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

[15:5]  ¹ tn Heb “And a man who touches in his bed”; NLT “touch the man’s bedding.”

[15:5]  ² tn Heb “he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening” (cf. also vv. 6-8, 10-11, etc.).

[15:7]  ³ tn Heb “And the one who touches in the flesh.” In this instance, “flesh” (or “body”) probably refers literally to any part of the body, not the genitals specifically (see the discussion in J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:914).

[15:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”

[15:13]  ⁵ tn For the expression “fresh water” see the note on Lev 14:5 above.
