Leviticus 14:49

New English Translation

⁴⁹Then he^[a] is to take two birds, a piece of cedar wood, a scrap of crimson fabric, and some twigs of hyssop^[b] to purify^[c] the house,

Leviticus 14:49 tn The pronoun “he” refers to the priest mentioned in the previous verse.
Leviticus 14:49 tn Regarding these ritual materials, see the note on v. 4 above.
Leviticus 14:49 tn Regarding the Piel of חָטָא (khataʾ, cf. v. 52) meaning to “purify” or “decontaminate,” see the notes on Lev 8:15 and 9:15. sn In Lev 8:15, for example, the “sin offering” is used to “purify” the burnt offering altar. As argued above (see the note on v. 7 above), these ritual materials and the procedures performed with them do not constitute a “sin offering” (contrast vv. 19 and 31 above). In fact, no sin offering was required for the purification of a house.
