¹ tn Heb “the one walking on four.” Compare Lev 11:20-23.

² tn See the note on Lev 15:2 above.

³ tn Heb “blood shall be her discharge in her flesh.” The term “flesh” here refers euphemistically to the female sexual area (cf. the note on v. 2 above).

⁴ tn See the note on Lev 12:2 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-27.

⁵ tn The Hebrew term פָּרֹכֶת (parokhet) is usually translated “veil” or “curtain,” but it seems to have stretched not only in front of but also over the top of the ark of the covenant which stood behind and under it inside the most holy place (see R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 3:687-89).

⁶ tc Several medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, and the LXX add “and his sons.”

⁷ tn Heb “for your generations.”
