Leviticus 4:20

4:20 He must do with the rest of the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; this is what he must do with it. ¹  So the priest will make atonement ²  on their behalf and they will be forgiven. ³ 

Leviticus 13:12

13:12 If, however, the disease breaks out ⁴  on the skin so that the disease covers all the skin of the person with the infection ⁵  from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see, ⁶ 

Leviticus 14:36

14:36 Then the priest will command that the house be cleared ⁷  before the priest enters to examine the infection ⁸  so that everything in the house ⁹  does not become unclean, ¹⁰  and afterward ¹¹  the priest will enter to examine the house.

¹ sn Cf. Lev 4:11-12 above for the disposition of “the [rest of] the bull.”

² sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

³ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to them” or “it shall be forgiven to them.”

⁴ tn Heb “And if spreading [infinitive absolute] it spreads out [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

⁵ tn Heb “all the skin of the infection,” but see v. 4 above.

⁶ tn Heb “to all the appearance of the eyes of the priest.”

⁷ tn Heb “And the priest shall command and they shall clear the house.” The second verb (“and they shall clear”) states the thrust of the priest’s command, which suggests the translation “that they clear” (cf. also vv. 4a and 5a above), and for the impersonal passive rendering of the active verb (“that the house be cleared”) see the note on v. 4 above.

⁸ tn Heb “to see the infection”; KJV “to see the plague”; NASB “to look at the mark (mildew NCV).”

⁹ tn Heb “all which [is] in the house.”

¹⁰ sn Once the priest pronounced the house “unclean” everything in it was also officially unclean. Therefore, if they emptied the house of its furniture, etc. before the official pronouncement by the priest those possessions would thereby remain officially “clean” and avoid destruction or purification procedures.

¹¹ tn Heb “and after thus.”
