Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 13:45 tn Heb “And the diseased one who in him is the infection.”
  2. Leviticus 13:45 tn Heb “and his head shall be unbound, and he shall cover on [his] mustache.” Tearing one’s clothing, allowing the hair to hang loose rather than bound up in a turban, and covering the mustache on the upper lip are all ways of expressing shame, grief, or distress (cf., e.g., Lev 10:6 and Micah 3:7).
  3. Leviticus 13:46 tn Heb “All the days which the infection is in him.”
  4. Leviticus 13:47 tn Heb “And the garment, if there is in it a mark of disease.”
  5. Leviticus 13:47 tn Heb “in a wool garment or in a linen garment.”
