13:47 “When a garment has a diseased infection in it, ⁶  whether a wool or linen garment, ⁷

13:55 The priest must then examine it after the infection has been washed out, and if ⁸  the infection has not changed its appearance ⁹  even though the infection has not spread, it is unclean.

13:59 This is the law ¹¹  of the diseased infection in the garment of wool or linen, or the warp or woof, or any article of leather, for pronouncing it clean or unclean. ¹² 

Imamat 14:44

14:44 the priest is to come and examine it, and if ¹³  the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant disease in the house. It is unclean.

[13:24]  ¹ tn Heb “Or a body, if there is in its skin a burn of fire.”

[13:31]  ² tn Heb “and behold there is not its appearance deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

[13:31]  ³ tn Heb “and the priest will shut up the infection of the scall seven days.”

[13:32]  ⁴ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:32]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the appearance of the scall is not deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

[13:47]  ⁶ tn Heb “And the garment, if there is in it a mark of disease.”

[13:47]  ⁷ tn Heb “in a wool garment or in a linen garment.”

[13:55]  ⁸ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:55]  ⁹ tn Heb “the infection has not changed its eye.” Smr has “its/his eyes,” as in vv. 5 and 37, but here it refers to the appearance of the article of cloth or leather, unlike vv. 5 and 37 where there is a preposition attached and it refers to the eyes of the priest.

[13:55]  ¹⁰ tn The terms “back side” and “front side” are the same as those used in v. 42 for the “back or front bald area” of a man’s head. The exact meaning of these terms when applied to articles of cloth or leather is uncertain. It could refer, for example, to the inside versus the outside of a garment, or the back versus the front side of an article of cloth or leather. See J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:814, for various possibilities.

[13:59]  ¹¹ sn The Hebrew term translated “law” (תוֹרָה, torah) introduces here a summary or colophon for all of Lev 13. Similar summaries are found in Lev 7:37-38; 11:46-47; 14:54-57; and 15:32-33.

[13:59]  ¹² tn These are declarative Piel forms of the verbs טָהֵר (taher) and טָמֵא (tame’) respectively (cf. the notes on vv. 3 and 6 above).

[14:44]  ¹³ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “If he sees that the mark has indeed spread.”
