1 tn Heb “And a man who touches in his bed”; NLT “touch the man’s bedding.”
2 tn Heb “he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening” (cf. also vv. 6-8, 10-11, etc.).
3 tn Heb “And a man when a lying of seed goes out from him”; KJV, ASV “any man’s seed of copulation”; NIV, NRSV, TEV, NLT “an emission of semen.”
4 tn Heb “and he shall bathe all his flesh in water.”
5 tn Heb “And the one who touches in the flesh.” In this instance, “flesh” (or “body”) probably refers literally to any part of the body, not the genitals specifically (see the discussion in J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:914).
6 tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”
7 tn Heb “And all who the man with the discharge touches in him and his hands he has not rinsed in water.”
8 tn Heb “And a woman who a man lies with her a lying of seed.”
9 tn See the note on v. 5 above.
10 tn For “Azazel” see the note on v. 8 above.
11 tn The words “his clothes” are not in the Hebrew text, but are repeated in the translation for clarity.
12 tn Heb “and he shall bear his iniquity.” The rendering “bear the punishment for the iniquity” reflects the use of the word “iniquity” to refer to the punishment for iniquity. This is sometimes referred to as the consequential use of the term (cf. Lev 5:17; 7:18; 10:17; etc.).
sn For the interpretation of this verse reflected in the present translation, see the remarks on Lev 5:1 in J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:292-97.
