[18:19]  ¹ tn Heb “in the menstruation of her impurity”; NIV “during the uncleanness of her monthly period.”

[15:25]  ² tn Heb “And a woman when the flow of her blood flows.”

[15:25]  ³ tn Heb “in not the time of her menstruation or when it flows on her menstruation.”

[15:33]  ³ tn Heb “and the one with a discharge, his discharge to the male and the female.”

[15:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “and for a man.”

[12:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “produces seed” (Hiphil of זָרַע, zara’; used only elsewhere in Gen 1:11-12 for plants “producing” their own “seed”), referring to the process of childbearing as a whole, from conception to the time of birth (H. D. Preuss, TDOT 4:144; cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 164-65; and J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:742-43). Smr and LXX have Niphal “be impregnated” (see, e.g., Num 5:28); note KJV “If a woman have conceived seed” (cf. ASV, NAB, NRSV; also NIV, NLT “becomes pregnant”).

[12:2]  ⁵ sn The regulations for the “male child” in vv. 2-4 contrast with those for the “female child” in v. 5 (see the note there).

[12:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “as the days of the menstrual flow [nom.] of her menstruating [q. inf.] she shall be unclean” (R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-26; the verb appears only in this verse in the OT). Cf. NASB “as in the days of her menstruation”; NLT “during her menstrual period”; NIV “during her monthly period.”

[12:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “on purity blood.” The preposition here is עַל (’al) rather than בְּ (bÿ, as it is in the middle of v. 4), but no doubt the same meaning is intended.

[12:5]  ⁶ tn For clarification of the translation here, see the notes on vv. 2-4 above.

[15:19]  ⁶ tn See the note on Lev 15:2 above.

[15:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “blood shall be her discharge in her flesh.” The term “flesh” here refers euphemistically to the female sexual area (cf. the note on v. 2 above).

[15:19]  ⁸ tn See the note on Lev 12:2 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-27.

[15:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “and if a man indeed lies with her and her menstrual impurity is on him.”

[20:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “takes.” The verb “to take” in this context means “to engage in sexual intercourse.”

[20:21]  ⁹ sn See the note on Lev 18:7 above.
