Translation commentary on Leviticus 15:9

Saddle: in some languages there may be no such technical term. In any case, a more general statement such as “Everything on which the man sits when riding” (New English Bible) is probably better. The word may refer to a saddle, or a cloth or the seat of a chariot.
