Leviticus 13:31

¹ tn Heb “to all” (cf. the note on v. 24). This and the following verses develop more fully the categories of uncleanness set forth in principle in vv. 24-25.

² tn Heb “divides hoof and cleft it does not cleave”; KJV “divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted”; NLT “divided but unsplit hooves.”

³ tn See the note on Lev 11:3.

⁴ sn Compare the regulations in Lev 11:2-8.

⁵ tn Heb “and behold there is not its appearance deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

⁶ tn Heb “and the priest will shut up the infection of the scall seven days.”
