2. Leviticus 13:6 tn Heb “and behold.”
3. Leviticus 13:6 tn Heb “he shall make him clean.” The verb is the Piel of טָהֵר (taher, “to be clean”).

Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 176; cf. the corresponding opposite in v. 3 above).
4. Leviticus 13:6 tn On the term “scab” see the note on v. 2 above. Cf. NAB “it was merely eczema”; NRSV “only an eruption”; NLT “only a temporary rash.”
