Leviticus 11:35
Context11:35 Anything their carcass may fall on will become unclean. An oven or small stove must be smashed to pieces; they are unclean, and they will stay unclean 1 to you.
Leviticus 13:45
Context13:45 “As for the diseased person who has the infection, 2 his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache, 3 and he must call out ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
Leviticus 14:57
Context14:57 to teach when something is unclean and when it is clean. 4 This is the law for dealing with infectious disease.” 5


[11:35] 1 tn Heb “be unclean.”
[13:45] 2 tn Heb “And the diseased one who in him is the infection.”
[13:45] 3 tn Heb “and his head shall be unbound, and he shall cover on [his] mustache.” Tearing one’s clothing, allowing the hair to hang loose rather than bound up in a turban, and covering the mustache on the upper lip are all ways of expressing shame, grief, or distress (cf., e.g., Lev 10:6 and Micah 3:7).
[14:57] 3 tn Heb “to teach in the day of the unclean and in the day of the clean.”
[14:57] 4 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.
