[15:8]  ¹ tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”

[15:27]  ² tn See the note on v. 5 above.

[13:58]  ³ tn Heb “and the infection turns aside from them.”

[15:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “And all who the man with the discharge touches in him and his hands he has not rinsed in water.”

[15:13]  ⁵ tn For the expression “fresh water” see the note on Lev 14:5 above.

[17:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “And any soul” (נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh).

[17:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “carcass,” referring to the carcass of an animal that has died on its own, not the carcass of an animal slaughtered for sacrifice or killed by wild beasts. This has been clarified in the translation by supplying the phrase “of natural causes”; cf. NAB “that died of itself”; TEV “that has died a natural death.”

[17:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the native or in the sojourner.”

[13:6]  ⁷ tn That is, at the end of the second set of seven days referred to at the end of v. 5, a total of fourteen days after the first appearance before the priest.

[13:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “he shall make him clean.” The verb is the Piel of טָהֵר (taher, “to be clean”). Here it is a so-called “declarative” Piel (i.e., “to declare clean”), but it also implies that the person is put into the category of being “clean” by the pronouncement itself (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 176; cf. the corresponding opposite in v. 3 above).

[13:6]  ¹⁰ tn On the term “scab” see the note on v. 2 above. Cf. NAB “it was merely eczema”; NRSV “only an eruption”; NLT “only a temporary rash.”

[13:6]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and he shall wash his clothes.”

[13:34]  ⁸ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:34]  ⁹ tn Heb “and its appearance is not deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

[13:34]  ¹⁰ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[14:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “the one cleansing himself” (i.e., Hitpael participle of טָהֵר [taher, “to be clean”]).

[14:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (so ASV). The end result of the ritual procedures in vv. 4-7 and the washing and shaving in v. 8a is that the formerly diseased person has now officially become clean in the sense that he can reenter the community (see v. 8b; contrast living outside the community as an unclean diseased person, Lev 13:46). There are, however, further cleansing rituals and pronouncements for him to undergo in the tabernacle as outlined in vv. 10-20 (see Qal “be[come] clean” in vv. 9 and 20, Piel “pronounce clean” in v. 11, and Hitpael “the one being cleansed” in vv. 11, 14, 17, 18, and 19). Obviously, in order to enter the tabernacle he must already “be clean” in the sense of having access to the community.

[14:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “And it shall be on the seventh day.”

[14:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (see the note on v. 8).
