¹ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

² tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

³ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

⁴ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”
