[13:40]  ¹ tn Heb “And a man, when his head is rubbed bare, he is bald-headed.” The translation offered here, referring to the back of the head (i.e., the area from the top of the head sloping backwards), is based on the contrast between this condition and that of the following verse. See also B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 82.

[11:36]  ² tn Heb “a spring and a cistern collection of water”; NAB, NIV “for collecting water.”

[11:37]  ³ tn Heb “And if there falls from their carcass on any seed of sowing which shall be sown.”

[13:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the priest shall see it.”

[13:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

[13:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “the priest shall pronounce the infection clean,” but see v. 4 above. Also, this is another use of the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[13:41]  ⁵ tn Heb “And if from the front edge of his face, his head is rubbed bare.” See the note on v. 40 above.

[13:41]  ⁶ tn The rendering “balding in front” corresponds to the location of the bareness at the beginning of the verse.

[6:11]  ⁶ tn The word “ceremonially” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that the uncleanness of the place involved is ritual or ceremonial in nature.

[7:19]  ⁷ tn The word “ceremonially” has been supplied in the translation both here and in the following sentence to clarify that the uncleanness involved is ritual or ceremonial in nature.

[7:19]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew has simply “the flesh,” but this certainly refers to “clean” flesh in contrast to the unclean flesh in the first half of the verse.

[13:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the priest shall see.” The pronoun “it” is unexpressed, but it should be assumed and it refers to the infection (cf. the note on v. 8 above).

[13:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

[13:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he shall pronounce the infection clean,” but see v. 4 above. Also, this is another use of the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher; cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[13:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “all of him has turned white, and he is clean.”

[13:37]  ⁹ tn Heb “and if in his eyes the infection has stood.”

[13:37]  ¹⁰ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[13:39]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the priest shall see.”

[13:39]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:39]  ¹² tn Heb “he,” but the regulation applies to a man or a woman (v. 38a). In the translation “the person” is used to specify the referent more clearly.

[4:12]  ¹¹ tn All of v. 11 is a so-called casus pendens (also known as an extraposition or a nominative absolute), which means that it anticipates the next verse, being the full description of “all (the rest of) the bull” (lit. “all the bull”) at the beginning of v. 12 (actually after the first verb of the verse; see the next note below).

[4:12]  ¹² tn Heb “And he (the offerer) shall bring out all the bull to from outside to the camp to a clean place.”

[4:12]  ¹³ tn Heb “a clean place,” but referring to a place that is ceremonially clean. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:12]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the pouring out [place] of fatty ash.”

[4:12]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “burn with fire.” This expression is somewhat redundant in English, so the translation collocates “fire” with “wood,” thus “a wood fire.”

[10:14]  ¹² tn The word “ceremonially” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that the cleanness of the place specified is ritual or ceremonial in nature.

[10:14]  ¹³ sn Cf. Lev 7:14, 28-34 for these regulations.
