Footnotes

  1. 69 Heb “and behold” (so , ).
  2. 70 For “yellowish green and reddish” see Lev 13:49. The Hebrew term translated “eruptions” occurs only here and its meaning is uncertain. For a detailed summary of the issues and views see J. Milgrom, Leviticus (), 1:. The suggestions include, among others: (1) “depressions” from Hebrew שׁקע (“sink”) or קער as the root of the Hebrew term for “bowl” (, Targums, , , ; see also B. A. Levine, Leviticus [], ), (2) “streaks” (, ), (3) and “eruptions” as a loan-word from Egyptian sqr r rwtj (“eruption; rash”); cf. Milgrom, 870; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (), . The latter view is taken here.
  3. 71 The Hebrew term קִיר (qir,“wall”) refers to the surface of the wall in this case, which normally consisted of a coating of plaster made of limestone and sand (see קִיר 1.a; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [], 1:; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [], ).
