If the man with a discharge spits on a person who is ceremonially clean,[a] that person must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. Any means of riding[b] that the man with a discharge rides on will be unclean. 10 Anyone who touches anything that was under him[c] will be unclean until evening, and the one who carries those items[d] must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 15:8 tn Heb “And if the man with a discharge spits in the clean one.”
  2. Leviticus 15:9 tn The Hebrew term for “means of riding” is a cognate noun from the verb “ride” later in this verse. It refers to anything on which one may ride without the feet touching the ground including, for example, a saddle, a (saddle) blanket, or a seat on a chariot (see, e.g., J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:916).
  3. Leviticus 15:10 tn Heb “which shall be under him.” The verb is perhaps a future perfect, “which shall have been.”
  4. Leviticus 15:10 tn Heb “them”; the referent (the previously mentioned items which were under the unclean person) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
