[3:5]  ¹ tn Or “on the fire – [it is] a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord” (see Lev 1:13b, 17b, and the note on 1:9b).

[5:10]  ² tn The word “bird” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[5:10]  ³ sn The term “[standard] regulation” (מִשְׁפָּט, mishppat) here refers to the set of regulations for burnt offering birds in Lev 1:14-17.

[5:10]  ⁴ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[5:10]  ⁵ tn See the note on 4:26 with regard to מִן, min.

[5:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[7:19]  ⁷ tn The word “ceremonially” has been supplied in the translation both here and in the following sentence to clarify that the uncleanness involved is ritual or ceremonial in nature.

[7:19]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew has simply “the flesh,” but this certainly refers to “clean” flesh in contrast to the unclean flesh in the first half of the verse.

[14:44]  ⁹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “If he sees that the mark has indeed spread.”

[16:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he shall purify it and he shall consecrate it.”

[19:15]  ¹³ tn Heb “You shall not lift up faces of poor [people] and you shall not honor faces of great.”

[20:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And a man who.” The syntax here and at the beginning of the following verses elliptically mirrors that of v. 9, which justifies the rendering as a conditional clause.

[20:10]  ¹⁶ tc The reading of the LXX minuscule mss has been followed here (see the BHS footnote a-a). The MT has a dittography, repeating “a man who commits adultery with the wife of” (see the explanation in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 328). The duplication found in the MT is reflected in some English versions, e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV.
