[11:24]  ¹ tn Heb “and to these.”

[11:27]  ² tn Heb “the one walking on four.” Compare Lev 11:20-23.

[14:48]  ³ tn Heb “And if the priest entering [infinitive absolute] enters [finite verb]” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[14:48]  ⁴ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “and the mark has not indeed spread.”

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

[15:5]  ⁶ 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.).

[15:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “And all who the man with the discharge touches in him and his hands he has not rinsed in water.”

[15:19]  ⁹ tn See the note on Lev 15:2 above.

[15:19]  ¹⁰ 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).

[22:6]  ¹⁵ sn The phrase “any of these” refers back to the unclean things touched in vv. 4b-5.

[23:38]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “from to separation.” See BDB 94 s.v. בַּד 1.e for an explanation of this phrase.

KJV, NASB “besides”; NRSV “apart from.”
