‏ Leviticus 22:5

5 or 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.”} —
