Leviticus 13:7-8

13:7 If, however, the scab is spreading further ¹  on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his purification, then he must show himself to the priest a second time. 13:8 The priest must then examine it, ²  and if ³  the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. ⁴  It is a disease.

Leviticus 13:11

13:11 it is a chronic ⁵  disease on the skin of his body, ⁶  so the priest is to pronounce him unclean. ⁷  The priest ⁸  must not merely quarantine him, for he is unclean. ⁹ 

Leviticus 20:12

20:12 If a man has sexual intercourse with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have committed perversion; ¹⁰  their blood guilt is on themselves.

Leviticus 26:21

26:21 “‘If you walk in hostility against me ¹¹  and are not willing to obey me, I will increase your affliction ¹²  seven times according to your sins.

¹ tn Heb “And if spreading [infinitive absolute] it spreads [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

² tn The “it” is not expressed but is to be understood. It refers to the “infection” (cf. the note on v. 2 above).

³ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

⁴ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’, cf. the note on v. 3 above).

³ tn The term rendered here “chronic” is a Niphal participle meaning “grown old” (HALOT 448 s.v. II ישׁן nif.2). The idea is that this is an old enduring skin disease that keeps on developing or recurring.

⁴ tn Heb “in the skin of his flesh” as opposed to the head or the beard (v. 29; cf. v. 2 above).

⁵ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’, cf. the note on v. 3 above).

⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the priest) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ sn Instead of just the normal quarantine isolation, this condition calls for the more drastic and enduring response stated in Lev 13:45-46. Raw flesh, of course, sometimes oozes blood to one degree or another, and blood flows are by nature impure (see, e.g., Lev 12 and 15; cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 191).

⁴ tn The Hebrew term תֶּבֶל (tevel, “perversion”) derives from the verb “to mix; to confuse” (cf. KJV, ASV “they have wrought confusion”).

⁵ tn Heb “hostile with me,” but see the added preposition בְּ (bet) on the phrase “in hostility” in v. 24 and 27.

⁶ tn Heb “your blow, stroke”; cf. TEV “punishment”; NLT “I will inflict you with seven more disasters.”
