Imamat 25:35

Debt and Slave Regulations

25:35 “‘If your brother ⁵  becomes impoverished and is indebted to you, ⁶  you must support ⁷  him; he must live ⁸  with you like a foreign resident. ⁹ 

[13:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:5]  ² tn Heb “the infection has stood in his eyes”; ASV “if in his eyes the plague be at a stay.”

[13:5]  ³ tn Although there is no expressed “and” at the beginning of this clause, there is in the corresponding clause of v. 6, so it should be assumed here as well.

[13:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “a second seven days.”

[25:35]  ⁵ tn It is not clear to whom this refers. It is probably broader than “sibling” (cf. NRSV “any of your kin”; NLT “any of your Israelite relatives”) but some English versions take it to mean “fellow Israelite” (so TEV; cf. NAB, NIV “countrymen”) and others are ambiguous (cf. CEV “any of your people”).

[25:35]  ⁶ tn Heb “and his hand slips with you.”

[25:35]  ⁷ tn Heb “strengthen”; NASB “sustain.”

[25:35]  ⁸ tn The form וָחַי (vakhay, “and shall live”) looks like the adjective “living,” but the MT form is simply the same verb written as a double ayin verb (see HALOT 309 s.v. חיה qal, and GKC 218 §76.i; cf. Lev 18:5).

[25:35]  ⁹ tn Heb “a foreigner and resident,” which is probably to be combined (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 170-71).
