Leviticus 13:40-41
Context13:40 “When a man’s head is bare so that he is balding in back, 2 he is clean. 13:41 If his head is bare on the forehead 3 so that he is balding in front, 4 he is clean.
1 sn The expression “and consecrated it” refers to the effect of the anointing earlier in the verse (cf. “to consecrate them/him” in vv. 11 and 12). “To consecrate” means “to make holy” or “make sacred”; i.e., put something into the category of holy/sacred as opposed to common/profane (see Lev 10:10 below). Thus, the person or thing consecrated is put into the realm of God’s holy things.
2 tn Heb “And a man, when his head is rubbed bare, he is bald-headed.” The translation offered here, referring to the back of the head (i.e., the area from the top of the head sloping backwards), is based on the contrast between this condition and that of the following verse. See also B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 82.
3 tn Heb “And if from the front edge of his face, his head is rubbed bare.” See the note on v. 40 above.
4 tn The rendering “balding in front” corresponds to the location of the bareness at the beginning of the verse.
