20:4 If, however, the people of the land shut their eyes ⁵  to that man ⁶  when he gives some of his children to Molech so that they do not put him to death,

[18:18]  ¹ tn Or “as a concubine”; Heb “And a woman to her sister you shall not take to be a second wife [or “to be a concubine”].” According to HALOT 1059 s.v. III צרר, the infinitive “to be a second wife” (לִצְרֹר, litsror) is a denominative verb from II צָרָה A (“concubine; second wife”), which, in turn, derives from II צר “to treat with hostility” (cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 283, and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 122).

[18:18]  ² tn Heb “on her in her life.”

[19:12]  ³ tn Heb “And you shall not swear to the falsehood.”

[19:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and you shall not profane”; NAB “thus profaning.”

[20:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “And if shutting [infinitive absolute] they shut [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[20:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “from that man” (so ASV); NASB “disregard that man.”
