13:27 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if it is spreading further⁸ on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. It is a diseased infection.⁹

¹tn Heb “and the priest shall see.” The pronoun “it” is unexpressed, but it should be assumed and it refers to the infection (cf. the note on v. 8 above).

²tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

³tn Heb “and rawness [i.e., something living] of living flesh is in the swelling”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “quick raw flesh.”

⁴tn Heb “and the priest shall see.” The pronoun “it” is unexpressed, but it should be assumed and it refers to the infection (cf. the note on v. 8 above).

⁵tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

⁶tn Heb “he shall pronounce the infection clean,” but see v. 4 above. Also, this is another use of the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher; cf. the note on v. 6 above).

⁷tn Heb “all of him has turned white, and he is clean.”

⁸tn Heb “is indeed spreading.”

⁹tn For the rendering “diseased infection” see the note on v. 2 above.

¹⁰tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

¹¹tn Heb “and the appearance of the scall is not deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”

¹²tn Heb “and behold.”

¹³tn Heb “the priest shall not search to the reddish yellow hair.”

¹⁴tn Heb “he”; the referent (the affected person) is specified in the translation for clarity (likewise in the following verse).

¹⁵tn Heb “and the priest shall see.”

¹⁶tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

¹⁷tn Heb “he,” but the regulation applies to a man or a woman (v. 38a). In the translation “the person” is used to specify the referent more clearly.

¹⁸tn Heb “and the priest shall see it” (cf. KJV). The MT has “him/it” which some take to refer to the person as a whole (i.e., “him”; see, e.g., J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:770; NIV, NRSV, etc.), while others take it as a reference to the “infection” (נֶגַע, nega’) in v. 42 (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 172, 177). Smr has “her/it,” which would probably refer to “disease” (צָרַעַת, tsara’at) in v. 42. The general pattern in the chapter suggests that “it,” either the infection or the disease, is the object of the examination (see, e.g., v. 3 above and v. 50 below).

¹⁹tn Heb “and behold.”

²⁰tn Heb “like appearance of disease of skin of flesh.”

²¹tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

²²tn 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 (AB), 1:870. The suggestions include, among others: (1) “depressions” from Hebrew שׁקע (“sink”) or קער as the root of the Hebrew term for “bowl” (LXX, Targums, NAB, NASB, NIV; see also B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 90), (2) “streaks” (ASV, NJPS), (3) and “eruptions” as a loan-word from Egyptian sqr r rwtj (“eruption; rash”); cf. Milgrom, 870; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 198-99. The latter view is taken here.

²³tn 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 HALOT 1099 s.v. קִיר 1.a; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:871; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 199).

²⁴tn Heb “he”; the referent (the owner of the animal) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²⁵tn Heb “And if exchanging [infinitive absolute] he exchanges it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

²⁶tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²⁷tn Heb “it shall be and its substitute shall be holy.”
