3 tn Heb “in the native or in the sojourner.”
4 tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.), but with a negative command it means “No man” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 147).
5 sn The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13-15.
6 tn Heb “And the one.”
7 tn Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on Lev 19:28.
8 tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”
9 tn Heb “And if the hand of a foreigner and resident with you reaches” (cf. v. 26 for this idiom).
10 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
11 tn Heb “offshoot, descendant.”
