Leviticus 13:48

13:48 or in the warp or woof of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather,

Leviticus 27:13

27:13 If, however, the person who made the vow redeems the animal, he must add one fifth to its conversion value.


sn The warp (vertical) and woof (horizontal) thread may be two different sets of thread not yet woven together, or they may refer to two different kinds of thread already woven, in which case one might have the disease in it while the other does not. See the explanation in J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:809-10.

tn Heb “in any handiwork of skin” (cf. KJV, ASV, NRSV); most other modern English versions have “leather.”

tn Heb “And if redeeming [infinitive absolute] he redeems it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p. The referent of “he” (the person who made the vow) and “it” (the animal) have both been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “on,” meaning “on top of, in addition to” (likewise in v. 15).
