[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.).

[15:8]  ³ tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”

[26:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “I wash my hands in innocence.” The psalmist uses an image from cultic ritual to picture his moral lifestyle. The imperfect verbal emphasizes that this is his habit.

[26:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “so I can go around your altar” (probably in ritual procession). Following the imperfect of the preceding line, the cohortative with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose or result.

[4:8]  ⁶ tn Or “two-minded” (the same description used in 1:8).
