15:13 “‘When the man with the discharge becomes clean from his discharge he is to count off for himself seven days for his purification, and he must wash his clothes, bathe in fresh water, 5 and be clean.
17:15 “‘Any person 6 who eats an animal that has died of natural causes 7 or an animal torn by beasts, whether a native citizen or a foreigner, 8 must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening; then he becomes clean.
1 tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”
2 tn See the note on v. 5 above.
3 tn Heb “and the infection turns aside from them.”
4 tn Heb “And all who the man with the discharge touches in him and his hands he has not rinsed in water.”
5 tn For the expression “fresh water” see the note on Lev 14:5 above.
6 tn Heb “And any soul” (נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh).
7 tn Heb “carcass,” referring to the carcass of an animal that has died on its own, not the carcass of an animal slaughtered for sacrifice or killed by wild beasts. This has been clarified in the translation by supplying the phrase “of natural causes”; cf. NAB “that died of itself”; TEV “that has died a natural death.”
8 tn Heb “in the native or in the sojourner.”
