Imamat 13:6

13:6 The priest must then examine it again on the seventh day, ¹  and if ²  the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person clean. ³  It is a scab, ⁴  so he must wash his clothes ⁵  and be clean.

Imamat 13:32

13:32 The priest must then examine the infection on the seventh day, and if ⁶  the scall has not spread, there is no reddish yellow hair in it, and the scall does not appear to be deeper than the skin, ⁷ 

Imamat 13:34

13:34 The priest must then examine the scall on the seventh day, and if ⁸  the scall has not spread on the skin and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, ⁹  then the priest is to pronounce him clean. ¹⁰  So he is to wash his clothes and be clean.

Imamat 13:51

13:51 He must then examine the infection on the seventh day. If the infection has spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the leather – whatever the article into which the leather was made ¹¹  – the infection is a malignant disease. It is unclean.

Imamat 13:55

13:55 The priest must then examine it after the infection has been washed out, and if ¹²  the infection has not changed its appearance ¹³  even though the infection has not spread, it is unclean. You must burn it up in the fire. It is a fungus, whether on the back side or front side of the article. ¹⁴ 

Imamat 26:25

26:25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. ¹⁵  Although ¹⁶  you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands. ¹⁷ 

[13:6]  ¹ tn That is, at the end of the second set of seven days referred to at the end of v. 5, a total of fourteen days after the first appearance before the priest.

[13:6]  ² tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:6]  ³ tn Heb “he shall make him clean.” The verb is the Piel of טָהֵר (taher, “to be clean”). Here it is a so-called “declarative” Piel (i.e., “to declare clean”), but it also implies that the person is put into the category of being “clean” by the pronouncement itself (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 176; cf. the corresponding opposite in v. 3 above).

[13:6]  ⁴ tn On the term “scab” see the note on v. 2 above. Cf. NAB “it was merely eczema”; NRSV “only an eruption”; NLT “only a temporary rash.”

[13:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he shall wash his clothes.”

[13:32]  ⁶ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:32]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the appearance of the scall is not deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

[13:34]  ⁸ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:34]  ⁹ tn Heb “and its appearance is not deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

[13:34]  ¹⁰ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).

[13:51]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to all which the leather was made into a handiwork.”

[13:55]  ¹² tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:55]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁴ 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.

[26:25]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”

[26:25]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.

[26:25]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).
