¹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “If the mark has indeed spread.”

² tn Heb “and bring into under the stones.”

³ tn The pronoun “he” refers to the priest mentioned in the previous verse.

⁴ tn Regarding these ritual materials, see the note on v. 4 above.

⁵ tn Regarding the Piel of חָטָא (khata’, cf. v. 52) meaning to “decontaminate” or “perform a decontamination,” see the notes on Lev 8:15 and 9:15.

sn In Lev 8:15, for example, the “sin offering” is used to “decontaminate” the burnt offering altar. As argued above (see the note on v. 7 above), these ritual materials and the procedures performed with them do not constitute a “sin offering” (contrast vv. 19 and 31 above). In fact, no sin offering was required for the purification of a house.

⁶ tn Heb “and it shall be to him.”
