Leviticus 11:33

[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.

[6:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “it”; the words “that vessel” are supplied in the translation to clarify the referent.

[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.”
