[14:56]  ¹ sn Cf. Lev 13:9-28, 43.

[14:56]  ² sn Cf. Lev 13:2.

[14:56]  ³ sn Cf. Lev 13:4, 18-28, 38-39. For explanations of all these terms for disease in Lev 14:56 see 13:2.

[14:57]  ⁴ tn Heb “to teach in the day of the unclean and in the day of the clean.”

[14:57]  ⁵ tn Heb “This is the law of the disease.” Some English versions specify this as “skin disease” (e.g., NIV, NLT), but then have to add “and (+ infectious NLT) mildew” (so NIV) because a house would not be infected with a skin disease.
