[14:55]  ¹ sn Cf. Lev 13:47-59.

[14:57]  ⁶ tn Heb “to teach in the day of the unclean and in the day of the clean.”

[14:57]  ⁷ tn Heb “This is the law of the disease.” Some English versions specify this as “skin disease” (e.g., NIV, NLT), but then have to add “and (+ infectious NLT) mildew” (so NIV) because a house would not be infected with a skin disease.
