Leviticus 22:4-5
4No man ▼ from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge ▼ may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one ▼▼tn Heb “And the one.”
who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person, ▼ or with a man who has a seminal emission, ▼▼tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”
5or with a man who touches a swarming thing by which he becomes unclean, ▼▼tn Heb “which there shall be uncleanness to him.”
or who touches a person ▼▼tn The Hebrew term for “person” here is אָדָם (ʾadam, “human being”), which could be either a male or a female person.
by which he becomes unclean, whatever that person’s impurity ▼▼tn Heb “to all his impurity.” The phrase refers to the impurity of the person whom the man touches to become unclean (see the previous clause). To clarify this, the translation uses “that person’s” rather than “his.”
