Leviticus 13:31

Leviticus 19:23
Context19:23 “‘When you enter the land and plant any fruit tree, 3 you must consider its fruit to be forbidden. 4 Three years it will be forbidden to you; 5 it must not be eaten.


[13:31] 1 tn Heb “and behold there is not its appearance deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”
[13:31] 2 tn Heb “and the priest will shut up the infection of the scall seven days.”
[19:23] 3 tn Heb “tree of food”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV “trees for food.”
[19:23] 4 tn Heb “you shall circumcise its fruit [as] its foreskin,” taking the fruit to be that which is to be removed and, therefore, forbidden. Since the fruit is uncircumcised it is forbidden (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 306, and esp. B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 131-32).
