Leviticus 13:5

13:5 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if, as far as he can see, the infection has stayed the same and has not spread on the skin, then the priest is to quarantine the person for another seven days.

Leviticus 13:37

13:37 If, as far as the priest can see, the scall has stayed the same and black hair has sprouted in it, the scall has been healed; the person is clean. So the priest is to pronounce him clean.


tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

tn Heb “the infection has stood in his eyes”; ASV “if in his eyes the plague be at a stay.”

tn Although there is no expressed “and” at the beginning of this clause, there is in the corresponding clause of v. 6, so it should be assumed here as well.

tn Heb “a second seven days.”

tn Heb “and if in his eyes the infection has stood.”

tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).
