1 tn Heb “on the garment”; NCV “on any clothes”; CEV “on the clothes of the priest.”
2 tc The translation “you must wash” is based on the MT as it stands (cf. NASB, NIV). Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Ps.-J., and the Vulgate have a third person masculine singular passive form (Pual), “[the garment] must be washed” (cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT). This could also be supported from the verbs in the following verse, and it requires only a repointing of the Hebrew text with no change in consonants. See the remarks in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 90 and J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:404.
3 tn Heb “it”; the words “that vessel” are supplied in the translation to clarify the referent.
4 tn Heb “holiness of holinesses [or holy of holies] it is” (also in 7:1).
5 tn Heb “burned with fire,” an expression which is sometimes redundant in English, but here means “burned up,” “burned up entirely.”
