Leviticus 14:56-57

14:56 for the swelling, ¹  for the scab, ²  and for the bright spot, ³  14:57 to teach when something is unclean and when it is clean. ⁴  This is the law for dealing with infectious disease.” ⁵ 

¹ sn Cf. Lev 13:9-28, 43.

² sn Cf. Lev 13:2.

³ sn Cf. Lev 13:4, 18-28, 38-39. For explanations of all these terms for disease in Lev 14:56 see 13:2.

⁴ tn Heb “to teach in the day of the unclean and in the day of the clean.”

⁵ tn Heb “This is the law of the disease.” Some English versions specify this as “skin disease” (e.g., NIV, NLT), but then have to add “and (+ infectious NLT) mildew” (so NIV) because a house would not be infected with a skin disease.
