Leviticus 14:5

14:5 The priest will then command that one bird be slaughtered ¹  into a clay vessel over fresh water. ² 

Leviticus 14:50

14:50 and he is to slaughter one bird into a clay vessel over fresh water. ³ 

Leviticus 15:12

15:12 A clay vessel ⁴  which the man with the discharge touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil must be rinsed in water.

Leviticus 11:32-34

11:32 Also, anything they fall on ⁵  when they die will become unclean – any wood vessel or garment or article of leather or sackcloth. Any such vessel with which work is done must be immersed in water ⁶  and will be unclean until the evening. Then it will become clean. 11:33 As for any clay vessel they fall into, ⁷  everything in it ⁸  will become unclean and you must break it. 11:34 Any food that may be eaten which becomes soaked with water ⁹  will become unclean. Anything drinkable ¹⁰  in any such vessel will become unclean. ¹¹ 

Leviticus 13:53

13:53 But if the priest examines it and ¹²  the infection has not spread in the garment or in the warp or in the woof or in any article of leather,

Leviticus 13:58

13:58 But the garment or the warp or the woof or any article of leather which you wash and infection disappears from it ¹³  is to be washed a second time and it will be clean.”

Leviticus 15:22

15:22 Anyone who touches any furniture she sits on must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

Leviticus 13:49

13:49 if the infection ¹⁴  in the garment or leather or warp or woof or any article of leather is yellowish green or reddish, it is a diseased infection and it must be shown to the priest.

Leviticus 13:52

13:52 He must burn the garment or the warp or the woof, whether wool or linen, or any article of leather which has the infection in it. Because it is a malignant disease it must be burned up in the fire.

Leviticus 13:57

13:57 Then if ¹⁵  it still appears again in the garment or the warp or the woof, or in any article of leather, it is an outbreak. Whatever has the infection in it you must burn up in the fire.

Leviticus 13:59

Summary of Infection Regulations

13:59 This is the law ¹⁶  of the diseased infection in the garment of wool or linen, or the warp or woof, or any article of leather, for pronouncing it clean or unclean. ¹⁷ 

[14:5]  ¹ tn Heb “And the priest shall command and he shall slaughter.” See the note on “be taken up” (v. 4).

[14:5]  ² tn Heb “into a vessel of clay over living water.” The expression “living [i.e., ‘fresh’] water” (cf. Lev 14:50; 15:13; Num 19:17) refers to water that flows. It includes such water sources as artesian wells (Gen 26:19; Song of Songs 4:15), springs (Jer 2:13, as opposed to cisterns; cf. 17:13), and flowing streams (Zech 14:8). In other words, this is water that has not stood stagnant as, for example, in a sealed-off cistern.

[14:50]  ³ tn See the note on v. 5 above.

[15:12]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term כְּלִי (kÿli) can mean “vessel” (v. 12a) or “utensil, implement, article” (v. 12b). An article of clay would refer to a vessel or container of some sort, while one made of wood would refer to some kind of tool or instrument.

[11:32]  ⁷ tn Heb “And all which it shall fall on it from them.”

[11:32]  ⁸ tn Heb “in water it shall be brought.”

[11:33]  ⁹ tn Heb “And any earthenware vessel which shall fall from them into its midst.”

[11:33]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “all which is in its midst.”

[11:34]  ¹¹ tn Heb “which water comes on it.”

[11:34]  ¹² tn Heb “any drink which may be drunk”; NASB “any liquid which may be drunk”; NLT “any beverage that is in such an unclean container.”

[11:34]  ¹³ tn This half of the verse assumes that the unclean carcass has fallen into the food or drink (cf. v. 33 and also vv. 35-38).

[13:53]  ¹³ tn Heb “And if the priest sees and behold”; NASB “and indeed.”

[13:58]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and the infection turns aside from them.”

[13:49]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and the infection is.” This clause is conditional in force, and is translated as such by almost all English versions.

[13:57]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “And if”; NIV, NCV “But if”; NAB “If, however.”

[13:59]  ²¹ sn The Hebrew term translated “law” (תוֹרָה, torah) introduces here a summary or colophon for all of Lev 13. Similar summaries are found in Lev 7:37-38; 11:46-47; 14:54-57; and 15:32-33.

[13:59]  ²² tn These are declarative Piel forms of the verbs טָהֵר (taher) and טָמֵא (tame’) respectively (cf. the notes on vv. 3 and 6 above).
