[11:27]  ¹ tn Heb “the one walking on four.” Compare Lev 11:20-23.

[15:8]  ² tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”

[15:11]  ³ tn Heb “And all who the man with the discharge touches in him and his hands he has not rinsed in water.”

[15:19]  ⁴ tn See the note on Lev 15:2 above.

[15:19]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn See the note on Lev 12:2 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-27.

[15:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “and if on the bed it (הוּא, hu’) is or on the vessel which she sits on it, when he touches it….” The translation and meaning of this verse is a subject of much debate in the commentaries (see the summary in J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:938-40). It is difficult to determine what הוּא refers to, whether it means “he” referring to the one who does the touching, “it” for the furniture or the seat in v. 22, “she” referring to the woman herself (see Smr היא rather than הוא), or perhaps anything that was lying on the furniture or the bed of vv. 21-22. The latter view is taken here (cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 202).

[15:23]  ⁸ tn The MT accent suggest that “when he touches it” goes with the preceding line, but it seems to be better to take it as an introduction to what follows (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 202).

[22:6]  ⁹ sn The phrase “any of these” refers back to the unclean things touched in vv. 4b-5.
