Footnotes

  1. 7 Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.), but with a negative command it means “No man” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [], ).
  2. 8 The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13–15.
  3. 9 Heb “And the one.”
  4. 10 Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on .
  5. 11 Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”
