[7:15]  ¹ tn In the verse “his” refers to the offerer.

[15:31]  ² tn Heb “And you shall.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NCV, NRSV).

[15:31]  ³ tn Heb “and they.” Here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) indicates a negative purpose (“lest,” so NAB, NASB).

[17:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “sacrifice.” This has been translated as “offer” for stylistic reasons to avoid the redundancy of “sacrifice their sacrifices.”

[17:7]  ⁵ tn On “goat demons” of the desert regions see the note on Lev 16:8.

[17:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “which they are committing harlotry after them.”

[17:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[20:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “And a man who takes a woman and her mother.” The Hebrew verb “to take” in this context means “to engage in sexual intercourse.”

[20:14]  ⁹ tn Regarding “lewdness,” see the note on Lev 18:17 above.

[20:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in fire they shall burn him and them.” The active plural verb sometimes requires a passive translation (GKC 460 §144.f, g), esp. when no active plural subject has been expressed in the context. The present translation specifies “burned to death” because the traditional rendering “burnt with fire” (KJV, ASV; NASB “burned with fire”) could be understood to mean “branded” or otherwise burned, but not fatally.

[21:21]  ¹¹ tn Or “shall approach” (see HALOT 670 s.v. נגשׁ).

[25:23]  ¹² tn The term rendered “without reclaim” means that the land has been bought for the full price and is, therefore, not subject to reclaim under any circumstances. This was not to be done with land in ancient Israel (contrast the final full sale of houses in v. 30; see the evidence cited in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 174).

[25:23]  ¹³ tn That is, the Israelites were strangers and residents who were attached to the Lord’s household. They did not own the land. Note the parallel to the “priest’s lodger” in Lev 22:10.

[25:46]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and your brothers, the sons of Israel, a man in his brother you shall not rule in him in violence.”

[27:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
