1 tn Heb “and the priest shall see.” The pronoun “it” is unexpressed, but it should be assumed and it refers to the infection (cf. the note on v. 8 above).
2 tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).
3 tn Heb “and rawness [i.e., something living] of living flesh is in the swelling”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “quick raw flesh.”
4 tn Heb “and if.”
5 tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).
6 tn Heb “and the priest will shut him up seven days.”
7 tn Heb “and if.”
8 tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “and indeed.”
9 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.”
10 tn Heb “and the priest will shut him up seven days.”
11 tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).
12 tn Heb “and the appearance of the scall is not deep ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, meaning “deeper than”) the skin.”
13 tn Heb “and behold.”
14 tn Heb “the priest shall not search to the reddish yellow hair.”
15 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the affected person) is specified in the translation for clarity (likewise in the following verse).
16 tn Heb “and if in his eyes the infection has stood.”
17 tn This is the declarative Piel of the verb טָהֵר (taher, cf. the note on v. 6 above).
18 tn Heb “And the diseased one who in him is the infection.”
19 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).
20 tn Heb “the one cleansing himself” (i.e., Hitpael participle of טָהֵר [taher, “to be clean”]).
21 tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (so ASV). The end result of the ritual procedures in vv. 4-7 and the washing and shaving in v. 8a is that the formerly diseased person has now officially become clean in the sense that he can reenter the community (see v. 8b; contrast living outside the community as an unclean diseased person, Lev 13:46). There are, however, further cleansing rituals and pronouncements for him to undergo in the tabernacle as outlined in vv. 10-20 (see Qal “be[come] clean” in vv. 9 and 20, Piel “pronounce clean” in v. 11, and Hitpael “the one being cleansed” in vv. 11, 14, 17, 18, and 19). Obviously, in order to enter the tabernacle he must already “be clean” in the sense of having access to the community.
22 tn The adjective “high” has been supplied in the translation for clarity, as in many English versions.
23 tn Heb “and he has filled his hand.” For this expression see the note on Lev 8:33.
24 tn Regarding these signs of mourning see the note on Lev 10:6. His head had been anointed (v. 10a) so it must not be unkempt (v. 10b), and his garments were special priestly garments (v. 10a) so he must not tear them (v. 10b). In the translation “garments” has been employed rather than “clothes” to suggest that the special priestly garments are referred to here; cf. NRSV “nor tear his vestments.”
