1 tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (the offerer) has been specified in the translation for clarity (so also in v. 13).
2 tn See the remarks on Lev 1:3-5 above for some of the details of translation here.
3 tn See the note on this term at 1:5.
4 tn The LXX has a plural form here and also for the same verb later in the verse. See the note on Lev 1:5a.
5 tn Although usually thought to be a “turban” (and so translated by the majority of English versions) this object might be only a “turban-like headband” wound around the forehead area (HALOT 624 s.v. מִצְנֶפֶת).
sn The turban consisted of wound-up linen (cf. Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:31; Lev 16:4).
6 sn The gold plate was attached as a holy diadem to the front of the turban by means of a blue cord, and had written on it “Holy to the
7 tn Heb “And if spreading [infinitive absolute] it spreads out [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.
8 tn Heb “all the skin of the infection,” but see v. 4 above.
9 tn Heb “to all the appearance of the eyes of the priest.”
10 tn Heb “And the diseased one who in him is the infection.”
11 tn Heb “and his head shall be unbound, and he shall cover on [his] mustache.” Tearing one’s clothing, allowing the hair to hang loose rather than bound up in a turban, and covering the mustache on the upper lip are all ways of expressing shame, grief, or distress (cf., e.g., Lev 10:6 and Micah 3:7).
12 tn Heb “And it shall be on the seventh day.”
13 tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (see the note on v. 8).
14 tn Heb “and the remainder in the oil.”
15 tn Heb “on the hand.”
16 tn Heb “give.”
17 tn Heb “they”; the referent (priests, see the beginning of v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
18 tn Heb “and in their body they shall not [cut] slash[es]” (cf. Lev 19:28). The context connects these sorts of mutilations with mourning rites (cf. Lev 19:27-28 above).
19 tn The words “to death” are supplied in the translation as a clarification; they are clearly implied from v. 16.
