Leviticus 22:4

Context
22:4 No man 1  from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge 2  may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one 3  who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person, 4  or a man who has a seminal emission, 5 

1 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).

2 sn The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13-15.

3 tn Heb “And the one.”

4 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.

5 tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”
