* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.
And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} when they come from{G575} the market{G58}, except{G3362} they wash{G907}{(G5672)}, they eat{G2068}{(G5719)} not{G3756}. And{G2532} many{G4183} other things{G243} there be{G2076}{(G5748)}, which{G3739} they have received{G3880}{(G5627)} to hold{G2902}{(G5721)}, as the washing{G909} of cups{G4221}, and{G2532} pots{G3582},{G2532} brasen vessels{G5473}, and{G2532} of tables{G2825}.
Strong's King James
(4) From the marketplace they don't eat until sprinkling themselves and much else they take observance, like immersing cups, jugs, bronze vessels and couches!)
The F.O.G*
[4] This commitment to ritual purity extended far beyond personal hygiene – when they returned from the marketplace, they wouldn't eat without first performing cleansing ceremonies. They preserved countless other traditions with equal fervor: the precise washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and even their dining couches – each ritual believed to maintain their spiritual standing.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and, coming from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.
