1 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).
2 tn See the note on Lev 15:2 above.
3 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).
4 tn See the note on Lev 12:2 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-27.
