[6:18]  ¹ tn Or “a perpetual regulation”; cf. NASB “a permanent ordinance”; NRSV “as their perpetual due.”

[6:18]  ² tn Heb “for your generations”; cf. NIV “for the generations to come.”

[6:18]  ³ tn Heb “touches them”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. In this context “them” must refer to the “gifts” of the Lord.

[6:18]  ⁴ tn Or “anyone/anything that touches them shall become holy” (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:443-56). The question is whether this refers to the contagious nature of holy objects (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT) or whether it simply sets forth a demand that anyone who touches the holy gifts of the Lord must be a holy person (cf. CEV). See R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:900-902.

[9:4]  ⁵ tn The verb is either a prophetic perfect (“will appear to you”) as in the MT (cf. IBHS §30.5.1.e; so many English versions), or a futurum instans participle (“is going to appear to you”) as in the LXX and several other versions (see the BHS footnote; cf. IBHS 627 §37.6f). In either case, the point is that Moses was anticipating that the Lord would indeed appear to them on this day (cf. vv. 6, 22-24).

[20:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “And I, I shall give my faces.”

[20:3]  ⁷ sn On the “cut off” penalty see the notes on Lev 7:20 and 17:4.

[20:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “for the sake of defiling my sanctuary and to profane my holy name.”

[20:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “takes.” The verb “to take” in this context means “to engage in sexual intercourse,” though some English versions translate it as “marry” (e.g., NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV).

[20:17]  ¹⁰ tn Regarding the “cut off” penalty, see the note on Lev 7:20.

[20:17]  ¹¹ tn See the note on Lev 17:16 above.

[23:13]  ¹² sn See the note on Lev 5:11.

[23:13]  ¹³ sn See the note on Lev 2:1.

[23:13]  ¹⁴ sn See the note on Lev 1:9.

[23:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “wine, one fourth of the hin.” A pre-exilic hin is about 3.6 liters (= ca. 1 quart), so one fourth of a hin would be about one cup.

[23:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “And when you harvest the harvest.”

[23:22]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “you shall not complete the corner of your field in your harvest.”

[23:22]  ¹⁸ sn Compare Lev 19:9-10.

[24:9]  ¹⁹ tn Or “a perpetual regulation”; NRSV “a perpetual due.”
