[11:36]  ¹ tn Heb “a spring and a cistern collection of water”; NAB, NIV “for collecting water.”

[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]  ¹ tn See the note on v. 5 above.

[15:5]  ¹ tn Heb “And a man who touches in his bed”; NLT “touch the man’s bedding.”

[15:5]  ² tn Heb “he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening” (cf. also vv. 6-8, 10-11, etc.).

[15:7]  ¹ tn Heb “And the one who touches in the flesh.” In this instance, “flesh” (or “body”) probably refers literally to any part of the body, not the genitals specifically (see the discussion in J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:914).

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

[15:12]  ¹ 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.

[15:18]  ¹ tn Heb “And a woman who a man lies with her a lying of seed.”

[15:27]  ¹ tn See the note on v. 5 above.
