[2:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb הֵרִים (herim, “to take up”; cf. NAB “lift”) is commonly used for setting aside portions of an offering (see, e.g., Lev 4:8-10 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 4:335-36). A number of English versions employ the more normal English idiom “take out” here (e.g., NIV, NCV); cf. NRSV “remove.”

[2:9]  ² tn The words “it is” (הוּא, hu’) both here and in vv. 10 and 16 are not in the MT, but are assumed. (cf. vv. 2b and 3b and the notes there).

[5:10]  ³ tn The word “bird” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

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

[5:10]  ⁶ tn See the note on 4:26 with regard to מִן, min.

[5:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[15:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “And a woman who a man lies with her a lying of seed.”

[17:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “Man, man.” The repetition of the word “man” is distributive, meaning “any [or “every”] man” (GKC 395-96 §123.c; cf. Lev 15:2).

[17:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and.” Here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has an alternative sense (“or”).

[17:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “from the sojourner who sojourns.”

[17:8]  ¹² tc The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate have “your” (plural) rather than “their.”

[17:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “causes to go up.”

[17:10]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “And man, man.” The repetition of the word “man” is distributive, meaning “any (or every) man” (GKC 395-96 §123.c; cf. Lev 15:2).

[17:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “from the sojourner who sojourns.”

[17:10]  ¹⁶ tc The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate have “your” (plural) rather than “their.”

[17:10]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “I will give my faces against [literally “in”] the soul/person/life [נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh, feminine] who eats the blood and I will cut it [i.e., that נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh] off from the midst of its people.” The uses of נֶפֶשׁ in this and the following verse are most significant for the use of animal blood in Israel’s sacrificial system. Unfortunately, it is a most difficult word to translate accurately and consistently, and this presents a major problem for the rendering of these verses (see, e.g., G. J. Wenham, Leviticus [NICOT], 244-45). No matter which translation of נֶפֶשׁ one uses here, it is important to see that both man and animal have נֶפֶשׁ and that this נֶפֶשׁ is identified with the blood. See the further remarks on v. 11 below. On the “cutting off” penalty see the note on v. 4 above. In this instance, God takes it on himself to “cut off” the person (i.e., extirpation).

[17:12]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “all/any person from you shall not eat blood.”

[17:12]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and the sojourner, the one sojourning in your midst, shall not eat blood.”

[18:25]  ²⁰ tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative or even inferential force here.

[18:25]  ²¹ tn Heb “and I have visited its [punishment for] iniquity on it.” See the note on Lev 17:16 above.

[21:6]  ²² sn Regarding “profane,” see the note on Lev 10:10 above.

[21:6]  ²³ sn Regarding the Hebrew term for “gifts,” see the note on Lev 1:9 above (cf. also 3:11 and 16 in combination with the word for “food” that follows in the next phrase here).

[21:6]  ²⁴ tc Smr and all early versions have the plural adjective “holy” rather than the MT singular noun “holiness.”

[22:6]  ²⁵ sn The phrase “any of these” refers back to the unclean things touched in vv. 4b-5.

[22:9]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and they will not lift up on it sin.” The pronoun “it” (masculine) apparently refers to any item of food that belongs to the category of “holy offerings” (see above).

[22:9]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and die in it.”

[24:16]  ²⁸ sn See the note on v. 11 above.

[25:45]  ²⁹ tn The word “slaves” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied here.

[25:45]  ³⁰ tn Heb “family which is” (i.e., singular rather than plural).

[26:21]  ³¹ tn Heb “hostile with me,” but see the added preposition בְּ (bet) on the phrase “in hostility” in v. 24 and 27.

[26:21]  ³² tn Heb “your blow, stroke”; cf. TEV “punishment”; NLT “I will inflict you with seven more disasters.”

[26:26]  ³³ tn Heb “When I break to you staff of bread” (KJV, ASV, and NASB all similar).

[26:26]  ³⁴ tn Heb “they will return your bread in weight.”

[27:16]  ³⁵ tn Heb “a conversion value shall be to the mouth of its seed.”

[27:16]  ³⁶ tn Heb “seed of a homer of barley in fifty shekels of silver.”

[27:27]  ³⁷ tn Heb “And if.”

[27:27]  ³⁸ tn Heb “in” or “by.”
