[18:8] 1 tn Heb “the nakedness of your father she is.” See the note on v. 7 above. This law refers to another wife of the man’s father, who is not that man’s mother. The laws in the Pentateuch sometimes assume the possibility that a man may have more than one wife (cf., e.g., Deut 21:15-17).

[18:14] 3 tn As in v. 12 (see the note there), some
[18:16] 4 sn Regarding the last clause, see the notes on vv. 7 and 10 above.
