Contingencies for Defilement
6:9“ ‘If anyone dies very suddenly24 beside him and he defiles25 his consecrated head,26 then he must shave his head on the day of his purification—on the seventh day he must shave it.
Footnotes
- 24 The construction uses the imperfect tense followed by the infinitive absolute, יָמוּת מֵת (yamut met). Because the verb is in a conditional clause, the emphasis that is to be given through the infinitive must stress the contingency. The point is “if someone dies—unexpectedly.” The next words underscore the suddenness of this.
- 25 The verb is the Piel perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive; it continues the idea within the conditional clause.
- 26 The expression is figurative for the vow that he took; the figure is the metonymy because the reference to the head is a reference to the long hair that symbolizes the oath.
