Leviticus 15:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 This is the law[a] about how a bodily discharge makes someone unclean: Whether his flesh secretes a discharge or it has a blocked discharge, ⎣he is unclean. As long as his flesh has a discharge or his body blocks a discharge,⎦[b] this makes him unclean.
4 Any bedding that the man with a discharge lies on is unclean, and every object on which he sits becomes unclean. 5 Anyone who touches his bedding must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until sunset.

- Leviticus 15:3 The words the law do not appear in the Hebrew text but are in the Greek Old Testament and agree with a pattern common throughout this section of Leviticus.
- Leviticus 15:3 The main Hebrew text is missing these words in half-brackets:⎣he is unclean. As long as his flesh has a discharge or his body blocks a discharge⎦. Ancient Hebrew and Greek versions support this addition to the text. The repetition of the term discharge seems to be the cause of the accidental omission from the Hebrew text, as the scribe’s eye skipped from one occurrence of discharge to the next.
