Imamat 7:5

7:5 Then the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar ¹  as a gift to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.

Imamat 18:19

18:19 “‘You must not approach a woman in her menstrual impurity ²  to have sexual intercourse with her.

Imamat 18:22

18:22 You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; ³  it is a detestable act. ⁴ 

Imamat 23:25

23:25 You must not do any regular work, but ⁵  you must present a gift to the Lord.’”

[7:5]  ¹ tn See the note on Lev 1:9 above.

[18:19]  ² tn Heb “in the menstruation of her impurity”; NIV “during the uncleanness of her monthly period.”

[18:22]  ³ tn Heb “And with a male you shall not lay [as the] lyings of a woman” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 123). The specific reference here is to homosexual intercourse between males.

[18:22]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, rendered “detestable act”) refers to the repugnant practices of foreigners, whether from the viewpoint of other peoples toward the Hebrews (e.g., Gen 43:32; 46:34; Exod 8:26) or of the Lord toward other peoples (see esp. Lev 18:26-27, 29-30). It can also designate, as here, detestable acts that might be perpetrated by the native peoples (it is used again in reference to homosexuality in Lev 20:13; cf. also its use for unclean food, Deut 14:3; idol worship, Isa 41:24; remarriage to a former wife who has been married to someone else in between, Deut 24:4).

[23:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have adversative force here (cf. KJV, NASB, NIV).
