Leviticus 13:21

13:21 If, however, ¹  the priest examines it, and ²  there is no white hair in it, it is not deeper than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days. ³ 

Leviticus 13:26

13:26 If, however, ⁴  the priest examines it and ⁵  there is no white hair in the bright spot, it is not deeper than the skin, ⁶  and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days. ⁷ 

Leviticus 13:39

13:39 the priest is to examine them, ⁸  and if ⁹  the bright spots on the skin of their body are faded white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin. The person is clean. ¹⁰ 

Leviticus 13:56

13:56 But if the priest has examined it and ¹¹  the infection has faded after it has been washed, he is to tear it out of ¹²  the garment or the leather or the warp or the woof.

Leviticus 13:6

13:6 The priest must then examine it again on the seventh day, ¹³  and if ¹⁴  the infection has faded and has not spread on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce the person clean. ¹⁵  It is a scab, ¹⁶  so he must wash his clothes ¹⁷  and be clean.

Leviticus 13:28

13:28 But if the bright spot stays in its place, has not spread on the skin, ¹⁸  and it has faded, then it is the swelling of the burn, so the priest is to pronounce him clean, ¹⁹  because it is the scar of the burn.

¹ tn Heb “and if.”

² tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

³ tn Heb “and the priest will shut him up seven days.”

⁴ tn Heb “and if.”

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

⁶ tn Heb “and low it is not ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, “lower than”) the skin.” See the note on v. 20 above. Cf. TEV “not deeper than the surrounding skin.”

⁷ tn Heb “and the priest will shut him up seven days.”

⁸ tn Heb “and the priest shall see.”

⁹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

¹⁰ tn 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.

¹¹ tn Heb “And if the priest saw and behold….”

¹² tn Heb “and he shall tear it from.”

¹³ tn That is, at the end of the second set of seven days referred to at the end of v. 5, a total of fourteen days after the first appearance before the priest.

¹⁴ tn Heb “and behold.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “he shall make him clean.” The verb is the Piel of טָהֵר (taher, “to be clean”). Here it is a so-called “declarative” Piel (i.e., “to declare clean”), but it also implies that the person is put into the category of being “clean” by the pronouncement itself (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 176; cf. the corresponding opposite in v. 3 above).

¹⁶ tn On the term “scab” see the note on v. 2 above. Cf. NAB “it was merely eczema”; NRSV “only an eruption”; NLT “only a temporary rash.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “and he shall wash his clothes.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “and if under it the bright spot stands, it has not spread in the skin.”

¹⁹ tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher; cf. the note on v. 6 above).
