Leviticus 13:5

13:5 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if, ⁴  as far as he can see, the infection has stayed the same ⁵  and has not spread on the skin, ⁶  then the priest is to quarantine the person for another seven days. ⁷ 

Leviticus 13:12

13:12 If, however, the disease breaks out ⁸  on the skin so that the disease covers all the skin of the person with the infection ⁹  from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see, ¹⁰ 

Leviticus 13:37

13:37 If, as far as the priest can see, the scall has stayed the same ¹¹  and black hair has sprouted in it, the scall has been healed; the person is clean. So the priest is to pronounce him clean. ¹²

26:45 I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors ¹⁸  whom I brought out from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”

[4:13]  ¹ tn Heb “strays”; KJV “sin through ignorance.” The verb “strays” here is the verbal form of the noun in the expression “by straying” (see the note on Lev 4:2 above).

[4:13]  ² tn Heb “is concealed from the eyes of”; NASB, NRSV, NLT “escapes the notice of.”

[4:13]  ³ tn Heb “and they do one from all the commandments of the Lord which must not be done” (cf. v. 2).

[13:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “the infection has stood in his eyes”; ASV “if in his eyes the plague be at a stay.”

[13:5]  ⁶ tn Although there is no expressed “and” at the beginning of this clause, there is in the corresponding clause of v. 6, so it should be assumed here as well.

[13:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “a second seven days.”

[13:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “And if spreading [infinitive absolute] it spreads out [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[13:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “all the skin of the infection,” but see v. 4 above.

[13:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “to all the appearance of the eyes of the priest.”

[13:37]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and if in his eyes the infection has stood.”

[13:37]  ¹¹ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[20:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “And if shutting [infinitive absolute] they shut [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[20:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “from that man” (so ASV); NASB “disregard that man.”

[21:20]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “thin”; cf. NAB “weakly.” This could refer to either an exceptionally small (i.e., dwarfed) man (B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 146) or perhaps one with a “withered limb” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 342, 344).

[21:20]  ¹⁷ tn The term rendered “spot” derives from a root meaning “mixed” or “confused” (cf. NAB “walleyed”). It apparently refers to any kind of marked flaw in the eye that can be seen by others. Smr, Syriac, Tg. Onq., and Tg. Ps.-J. have plural “his eyes.”

[21:20]  ¹⁸ tn The exact meaning and medical reference of the terms rendered “festering eruption” and “feverish rash” is unknown, but see the translations and remarks in B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 146; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 342, 344, 349-50; and R. K. Harrison, NIDOTTE 1:890 and 2:461.

[26:45]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “covenant of former ones.”
