Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 13:47 Or mildew. This is the same word translated leprosy or skin disease when it applies to the body.
  2. Leviticus 13:48 Warp and woof are the two directions of the threads in cloth. It is, however, not clear what the two Hebrew terms mean.
  3. Leviticus 13:49 People do not usually speak of things having an infection or a sickness, so here the translation uses contamination.
