15:19 “‘When a woman has a discharge 1 and her discharge is blood from her body, 2 she is to be in her menstruation 3 seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.
1 tn See the note on Lev 15:2 above.
2 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).
3 tn See the note on Lev 12:2 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-27.
4 tn Heb “The nakedness of the daughter of your father’s wife born of your father, she is your sister; you must not uncover her nakedness.” That is, a half sister, the daughter of the man’s father by another wife, who is not the man’s mother, is to be considered a true sister. Therefore, the man must not have sexual intercourse with her.
