Leviticus 15:10
Context15:10 Anyone who touches anything that was under him 5 will be unclean until evening, and the one who carries those items 6 must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
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 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).
4 tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”
5 tn Heb “which shall be under him.” The verb is perhaps a future perfect, “which shall have been.”
6 tn Heb “them”; the referent (the previously mentioned items which were under the unclean person) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
