11:42 You must not eat anything that crawls ¹  on its belly or anything that walks on all fours or on any number of legs ²  of all the swarming things that swarm on the land, because they are detestable.

14:34 “When you enter the land of Canaan which I am about to give ³  to you for a possession, and I put ⁴  a diseased infection in a house in the land you are to possess, ⁵

Imamat 24:7

24:7 You must put pure frankincense ⁸  on each row, ⁹  and it will become a memorial portion ¹⁰  for the bread, a gift ¹¹  to the Lord.

[11:42]  ¹ tn Heb “goes” (KJV, ASV “goeth”); NIV “moves about”; NLT “slither along.” The same Hebrew term is translated “walks” in the following clause.

[11:42]  ² tn Heb “until all multiplying of legs.”

[14:34]  ³ tn Heb “which I am giving” (so NAB, NIV).

[14:34]  ⁴ tn Heb “give.”

[14:34]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the house of the land of your possession” (KJV and ASV both similar).

[23:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “for your acceptance.”

[23:11]  ⁷ sn See Lev 7:30 for a note on the “waving” of a “wave offering.”

[24:7]  ⁸ tn This is not just any “incense” (קְטֹרֶת, qÿtoret; R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 3:913-16), but specifically “frankincense” (לְבֹנָה, lÿvonah; R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:756-57).

[24:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “on [עַל, ’al] the row,” probably used distributively, “on each row” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 395-96). Perhaps the frankincense was placed “with” or “along side of” each row, not actually on the bread itself, and was actually burned as incense to the Lord (cf. NIV “Along [Alongside CEV] each row”; NRSV “with each row”; NLT “near each row”; B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 165). This particular preposition can have such a meaning.

[24:7]  ¹⁰ sn The “memorial portion” (אַזְכָרָה, ’azkharah) was normally the part of the grain offering that was burnt on the altar (see Lev 2:2 and the notes there), as opposed to the remainder, which was normally consumed by the priests (Lev 2:3; see the full regulations in Lev 6:14-23 [6:7-16 HT]).

[24:7]  ¹¹ sn See the note on Lev 1:9 regarding the term “gift.”
