[3:9]  ¹ sn See the note on this phrase in 3:3.

[4:31]  ² sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[4:31]  ³ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[6:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “in it,” apparently referring to the “hearth” which was on top of the altar (cf. the note on v. 9).

[8:26]  ⁵ tn See Lev 2:4.

[14:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “the one cleansing himself” (i.e., Hitpael participle of טָהֵר [taher, “to be clean”]).

[14:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (so ASV). The end result of the ritual procedures in vv. 4-7 and the washing and shaving in v. 8a is that the formerly diseased person has now officially become clean in the sense that he can reenter the community (see v. 8b; contrast living outside the community as an unclean diseased person, Lev 13:46). There are, however, further cleansing rituals and pronouncements for him to undergo in the tabernacle as outlined in vv. 10-20 (see Qal “be[come] clean” in vv. 9 and 20, Piel “pronounce clean” in v. 11, and Hitpael “the one being cleansed” in vv. 11, 14, 17, 18, and 19). Obviously, in order to enter the tabernacle he must already “be clean” in the sense of having access to the community.

[19:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “Your animals, you shall not cross-breed two different kinds.”

[19:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “you shall not cause to go up on you.”

[19:19]  ¹⁰ sn Cf. Deut 22:11 where the Hebrew term translated “two different kinds” (כִּלְאַיִם, kil’ayim) refers to a mixture of linen and wool woven together in a garment.

[22:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.), but with a negative command it means “No man” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 147).

[22:4]  ¹² sn The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13-15.

[22:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “And the one.”

[22:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on Lev 19:28.

[22:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”

[23:3]  ¹⁶ tn This is a superlative expression, emphasizing the full and all inclusive rest of the Sabbath and certain festival times throughout the chapter (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 155). Cf. ASV “a sabbath of solemn rest.”

[23:14]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “until the bone of this day.”

[23:14]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[23:22]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “And when you harvest the harvest.”

[23:22]  ²⁰ tn Heb “you shall not complete the corner of your field in your harvest.”

[23:22]  ²¹ sn Compare Lev 19:9-10.

[26:6]  ²² tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[26:6]  ²³ tn Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[26:6]  ²⁴ tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).

[26:6]  ²⁵ tn Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.

[26:34]  ²⁶ tn There are two Hebrew roots רָצָה (ratsah), one meaning “to be pleased with; to take pleasure” (HALOT 1280-81 s.v. רצה; cf. “enjoy” in NASB, NIV, NRSV, and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 452), and the other meaning “to restore” (HALOT 1281-82 s.v. II רצה; cf. NAB “retrieve” and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 189).

[26:36]  ²⁷ tn Heb “And.”
