Leviticus 13:7-8

13:7 If, however, the scab is spreading further 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, and if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. It is a disease.


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.

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

tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

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