6:27 Anyone who touches its meat must be holy, and whoever spatters some of its blood on a garment,46 you must wash47 whatever he spatters it on in a holy place.
tnHeb “on the garment”; NCV “on any clothes”; CEV “on the clothes of the priest.”

tc The translation “you must wash” is based on the MT as it stands (cf. NASB, NIV). Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Ps.-J., and the Vulgate have a third person masculine singular passive form (Pual), “[the garment] must be washed” (cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT). This could also be supported from the verbs in the following verse, and it requires only a repointing of the Hebrew text with no change in consonants. See the remarks in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 90 and J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:404.
