Leviticus 13:8

13:8 The priest must then examine it, ¹  and if ²  the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. ³  It is a disease.

Leviticus 13:11

13:11 it is a chronic ⁴  disease on the skin of his body, ⁵  so the priest is to pronounce him unclean. ⁶  The priest ⁷  must not merely quarantine him, for he is unclean. ⁸ 

Leviticus 13:22

13:22 If ⁹  it is spreading further ¹⁰  on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. ¹¹  It is an infection.

Leviticus 13:38

Bright White Spots on the Skin

13:38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots – white bright spots – on the skin of their body,

Leviticus 13:48

13:48 or in the warp or woof ¹²  of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather, ¹³ 

[13:8]  ¹ tn The “it” is not expressed but is to be understood. It refers to the “infection” (cf. the note on v. 2 above).

[13:8]  ² tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:8]  ³ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’, cf. the note on v. 3 above).

[13:11]  ⁴ tn The term rendered here “chronic” is a Niphal participle meaning “grown old” (HALOT 448 s.v. II ישׁן nif.2). The idea is that this is an old enduring skin disease that keeps on developing or recurring.

[13:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the skin of his flesh” as opposed to the head or the beard (v. 29; cf. v. 2 above).

[13:11]  ⁶ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’, cf. the note on v. 3 above).

[13:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the priest) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:11]  ⁸ sn Instead of just the normal quarantine isolation, this condition calls for the more drastic and enduring response stated in Lev 13:45-46. Raw flesh, of course, sometimes oozes blood to one degree or another, and blood flows are by nature impure (see, e.g., Lev 12 and 15; cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 191).

[13:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “and if.”

[13:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “is indeed spreading.”

[13:22]  ⁹ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’, cf. the note on v. 3 above).

[13:48]  ¹⁰ sn The warp (vertical) and woof (horizontal) thread may be two different sets of thread not yet woven together, or they may refer to two different kinds of thread already woven, in which case one might have the disease in it while the other does not. See the explanation in J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:809-10.

[13:48]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in any handiwork of skin” (cf. KJV, ASV, NRSV); most other modern English versions have “leather.”
