Leviticus 13:18

A Boil on the Skin

13:18 “When someone’s body has a boil on its skin ¹  and it heals,

Leviticus 7:15

7:15 The meat of his ²  thanksgiving peace offering must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not set any of it aside until morning.

[13:18]  ¹ tc Heb (MT) reads, “And flesh if/when there is in it, in its skin, a boil.” Smr has only “in it,” not “in its skin,” and a few medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate have only “in its skin” (cf. v. 24 below), not “in it.” It does not effect the meaning of the verse, but one is tempted to suggest that “in it” (בוֹ, vo) was added in error as a partial dittography from the beginning of “in its skin” (בְעֹרוֹ, vÿ’oro).

[7:15]  ² tn In the verse “his” refers to the offerer.
