| 4. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with the emphatic repetition ish {אִישׁ | ʾîš} ‘man, man’, functioning as a generic pronoun. The prepositional construct mi-zera Aharon {מִזֶּרַע אַהֲרֹן | mi-zē-raʿ ʾă-hă-rōn} specifies Aaronic lineage. The coordinate disjunction links tsarua {צָר֙וּעַ֙ | ṣā-rû-ʿa} ‘skin disease’ and zav {זָ֔ב | zāḇ} ‘discharge’ under the prohibition lo yoakhal {לֹ֣א יֹאכַ֔ל | lōʾ yō-ʾă-ḵal}. The temporal clause ad asher yithar {עַ֖ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִטְהָ֑ר | ʿaḏ ʾă-šer yiṯ-ḥā-r} ties the eating ban to ritual cleansing. The participial clause vehan-nogea be-khol-tamei-nefesh {וְהַנֹּגֵ֙עַ֙ בְּכָל־טְמֵא־נֶ֔פֶשׁ | wə-han-nō-gē-ʿa bə-ḵol-tə-mē-ne-peš} specifies corpse impurity, and the relative clause asher-tetse mimennu shikhvat-zara {אֲשֶׁר־תֵּצֵ֥א מִמֶּ֖נּוּ שִׁכְבַת־זָֽרַע | ʾă-šer-tê-ṣēʾ mim-me-nû šiḵ-bat-zā-raʿ} denotes semen emission, both extending the prohibition. |
