Imamat 24:5

24:5 “You must take choice wheat flour ¹  and bake twelve loaves; ²  there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in ³  each loaf,

Imamat 25:36

25:36 Do not take interest or profit from him, ⁴  but you must fear your God and your brother must live ⁵  with you.

[24:5]  ¹ sn See the note on Lev 2:1.

[24:5]  ² tn Heb “and bake it twelve loaves”; KJV, NAB, NASB “cakes.”

[24:5]  ³ tn The words “of flour” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:5]  sn See the note on Lev 5:11.

[25:36]  ⁴ tn The meaning of the terms rendered “interest” and “profit” is much debated (see the summaries in P. J. Budd, Leviticus [NCBC], 354-55 and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 178). Verse 37, however, suggests that the first refers to a percentage of money and the second percentage of produce (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 421).

[25:36]  ⁵ tn In form the Hebrew term וְחֵי (vÿkhey, “shall live”) is the construct plural noun (i.e., “the life of”), but here it is used as the finite verb (cf. v. 35 and GKC 218 §76.i).
