Leviticus 11:6

11:6 The hare is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided.

Leviticus 15:33

15:33 the one who is sick in her menstruation, the one with a discharge, whether male or female, ¹  and a man ²  who has sexual intercourse with an unclean woman.’”

Leviticus 5:2

5:2 Or when there is ³  a person who touches anything ceremonially ⁴  unclean, whether the carcass of an unclean wild animal, or the carcass of an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing, even if he did not realize it, ⁵  but he himself has become unclean and is guilty; ⁶ 

Leviticus 27:11

27:11 If what is vowed is an unclean animal from which an offering must not be presented to the Lord, then he must stand the animal before the priest,

Leviticus 7:21

7:21 When a person touches anything unclean (whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or an unclean detestable creature) ⁷  and eats some of the meat of the peace offering sacrifice which belongs to the Lord, that person will be cut off from his people.’” ⁸ 

Leviticus 15:25

15:25 “‘When a woman’s discharge of blood flows ⁹  many days not at the time of her menstruation, or if it flows beyond the time of her menstruation, ¹⁰  all the days of her discharge of impurity will be like the days of her menstruation – she is unclean.

[15:33]  ¹ tn Heb “and the one with a discharge, his discharge to the male and the female.”

[15:33]  ² tn Heb “and for a man.”

[5:2]  ¹ tc The insertion of the words “when there is” is a reflection of the few Hebrew mss, Smr, and LXX that have כִּי (ki, “when, if”; cf. vv. 3 and esp. 4) rather than the MT’s אֲשֶׁר (’asher, “who”). Many English versions render this as a conditional clause (“if”).

[5:2]  ² tn The word “ceremonially” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that the uncleanness involved is ritual or ceremonial in nature.

[5:2]  ³ tn Heb “and it is hidden from him,” meaning that the person who contracted the ceremonial uncleanness was not aware at the time what had happened, but later found out that he had become ceremonially unclean. This same phrase occurs again in both vv. 3 and 4.

[5:2]  ⁴ sn Lev 5:2-3 are parallel laws of uncleanness (contracted from animals and people, respectively), and both seem to assume that the contraction of uncleanness was originally unknown to the person (vv. 2 and 3) but became known to him or her at a later time (v. 3; i.e., “has come to know” in v. 3 is to be assumed for v. 2 as well). Uncleanness itself did not make a person “guilty” unless he or she failed to handle it according to the normal purification regulations (see, e.g., “wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening,” Lev 15:5 NIV; cf. Lev 11:39-40; 15:5-12, 16-24; Num 19, etc.). The problem here in Lev 5:2-3 is that, because the person had not been aware of his or her uncleanness, he or she had incurred guilt for not carrying out these regular procedures, and it would now be too late for that. Thus, the unclean person needs to bring a sin offering to atone for the contamination caused by his or her neglect of the purity regulations.

[7:21]  ¹ sn For these categories of unclean animals see Lev 11.

[7:21]  ² sn For the interpretation of this last clause see the note on Lev 7:20.

[15:25]  ¹ tn Heb “And a woman when the flow of her blood flows.”

[15:25]  ² tn Heb “in not the time of her menstruation or when it flows on her menstruation.”
