Imamat 4:18

4:18 He must put some of the blood on the horns of the altar ¹  which is before the Lord in the Meeting Tent, and all the rest of the blood he must pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.

Imamat 6:10

6:10 Then the priest must put on his linen robe and must put linen leggings ²  over his bare flesh, and he must take up the fatty ashes of the burnt offering that the fire consumed on the altar, ³  and he must place them ⁴  beside the altar.

Imamat 8:30

Anointing Aaron, his Sons, and their Garments

8:30 Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and his sons’ garments with him. So he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

Imamat 13:3

13:3 The priest must then examine the infection ⁵  on the skin of the body, and if the hair ⁶  in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of the body, ⁷  then it is a diseased infection, ⁸  so when the priest examines it ⁹  he must pronounce the person unclean. ¹⁰ 

Imamat 13:20

13:20 The priest will then examine it, ¹¹  and if ¹²  it appears to be deeper than the skin ¹³  and its hair has turned white, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. ¹⁴  It is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil. ¹⁵ 

Imamat 14:9

14:9 When the seventh day comes ¹⁶  he must shave all his hair – his head, his beard, his eyebrows, all his hair – and he must wash his clothes, bathe his body in water, and so be clean. ¹⁷ 

Imamat 16:4

16:4 He must put on a holy linen tunic, ¹⁸  linen leggings are to cover his body, ¹⁹  and he is to wrap himself with a linen sash ²⁰  and wrap his head with a linen turban. ²¹  They are holy garments, so he must bathe ²²  his body in water and put them on.

Imamat 22:18

22:18 “Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘When any man ²³  from the house of Israel or from the foreigners in Israel ²⁴  presents his offering for any of the votive or freewill offerings which they present to the Lord as a burnt offering,

Imamat 23:36

Imamat 27:8

27:8 If he is too poor to pay the conversion value, he must stand the person before the priest and the priest will establish his conversion value; ²⁶  according to what the man who made the vow can afford, ²⁷  the priest will establish his conversion value.

[4:18]  ¹ sn See v. 7, where this altar is identified as the altar of fragrant incense.

[6:10]  ² tn The exact nature of this article of the priest’s clothing is difficult to determine. Cf. KJV, ASV “breeches”; NAB “drawers”; NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “undergarments”; NCV “underclothes”; CEV “underwear”; TEV “shorts.”

[6:10]  ³ tn Heb “he shall lift up the fatty ashes which the fire shall consume the burnt offering on the altar.”

[6:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “it,” referring the “fatty ashes” as a single unit.

[13:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the priest shall see the infection.”

[13:3]  ⁶ tn There is no “if” expressed, but the contrast between the priestly finding in this verse and the next verse clearly implies it.

[13:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the appearance of the infection is deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, “deeper than”) the skin of the his flesh.” See the note on v. 20 below.

[13:3]  ⁸ tn For the translation “diseased infection” see the note on v. 2 above. Cf. TEV “a dreaded skin disease”; NIV “an infectious skin disease”; NLT “a contagious skin disease.”

[13:3]  ⁹ tn The pronoun “it” here refers to the “infection,” not the person who has the infection (cf. the object of “examine” at the beginning of the verse).

[13:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he shall make him unclean.” The verb is the Piel of טָמֵא (tame’) “to be unclean.” Here it is a so-called “declarative” Piel (i.e., “to declare unclean”), but it also implies that the person is put into the category of actually being “unclean” by the pronouncement itself (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 175; cf. the corresponding opposite in v. 6 below).

[13:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the priest shall see.” The pronoun “it” is unexpressed, but it should be assumed and it refers to the infection (cf. the note on v. 8 above).

[13:20]  ¹² tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “and behold its appearance is low (שָׁפָל, shafal) ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, “lower than”) the skin.” Compare “deeper” in v. 3 above where, however, a different word is used (עָמֹק, ’amoq), and see the note on “swelling” in v. 1 above (cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 192; note that, contrary to the MT, Tg. Onq. has עָמֹק in this verse as well as v. 4). The alternation of these two terms (i.e., “deeper” and “lower”) in vv. 25-26 below shows that they both refer to the same phenomenon. Some have argued that “this sore was lower than the surrounding skin” (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:773, 788), in which case “swelling” would be an inappropriate translation of שְׂאֵת (sÿ’et) in v. 19. It seems unlikely, however, that the surface of a “boil” would sink below the surface of the surrounding skin. The infectious pus etc. that makes up a boil normally causes swelling.

[13:20]  ¹⁴ tn The declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’, cf. the note on v. 3 above).

[13:20]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “It is an infection of disease. In the boil it has broken out.” For the rendering “diseased infection” see the note on v. 2 above.

[14:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “And it shall be on the seventh day.”

[14:9]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (see the note on v. 8).

[16:4]  ¹⁸ sn The term “tunic” refers to a shirt-like garment worn next to the skin and, therefore, put on first (cf. Exod 28:4, 39-40; 29:5, 8; 39:27). It covered the upper body only. For detailed remarks on the terminology for the priestly clothing in this verse (except the “linen leggings”) see the notes on Lev 8:7-9 and the literature cited there.

[16:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “shall be on his flesh.” As in many instances in Lev 15, the term “flesh” or “body” here is euphemistic for the male genitals (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:1017, and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 222; cf. the note on Lev 15:2), which the priest must be careful not to expose during such ritual procedures (see Exod 20:26 with 28:42-43).

[16:4]  ²⁰ sn The sash fastened the tunic around the waist (Exod 28:4, 39; 29:9; 39:29).

[16:4]  ²¹ tn Heb “and in a turban of linen he shall wrap.”

[16:4]  sn The turban consisted of wound up linen (cf. Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:31; Lev 16:4). It is usually thought to be a “turban,” but it might be only a “turban-like headband” wound around the forehead area (HALOT 624 s.v. מִצְנֶפֶת).

[16:4]  ²² tn Heb “and he shall bathe….”

[22:18]  ²³ tn Heb “Man, man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.; see the distributive repetition of the noun in GKC 395-96 §123.c).

[22:18]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and from the foreigner [singular] in Israel.” Some medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate add “who resides” after “foreigner”: “the foreigner who resides in Israel” (cf., e.g., Lev 20:2 above).

[23:36]  ²⁵ tn The Hebrew term עֲצֶרֶת (’atseret) “solemn assembly [day]” derives from a root associated with restraint or closure. It could refer either to the last day as “closing assembly” day of the festival (e.g., NIV) or a special day of restraint expressed in a “solemn assembly” (e.g., NRSV); cf. NLT “a solemn closing assembly.”

[27:8]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and the priest shall cause him to be valued.”

[27:8]  ²⁷ tn Heb “on the mouth which the hand of the one who vowed reaches.”
