[6:17]  ¹ tn Heb “It must not be baked leavened” (cf. Lev 2:11). The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.

[6:17]  ² tn Heb “holiness of holinesses [or holy of holies] it is”; cf. NAB “most sacred.”

[7:16]  ³ tn For the distinction between votive and freewill offerings see the note on Lev 22:23 and the literature cited there.

[7:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “and on the next day and the left over from it shall be eaten.”

[9:18]  ⁵ tn See the note on Lev 9:12.

[14:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “his right finger from the oil.”

[14:48]  ⁷ tn Heb “And if the priest entering [infinitive absolute] enters [finite verb]” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[14:48]  ⁸ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “and the mark has not indeed spread.”

[16:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “in their drawing near to the faces of the Lord.” The rendering here relies on the use of this expression for the very “presence” of God in Exod 33:14-15 and in the Lev 9:24-10:2 passage, where the Nadab and Abihu catastrophe referred to here is narrated.

[17:3]  ¹⁰ tn The complex wording of vv. 3-4 requires stating “blood guilt” at the beginning of v. 3 even though it is not mentioned until the middle of v. 4. The Hebrew text has simply “blood,” but in this case it refers to the illegitimate shedding of animal blood, similar to the shedding of the blood of an innocent human being (Deut 19:10, etc.). In order for it to be legitimate the animal must be slaughtered at the tabernacle and its blood handled by the priests in the prescribed way (see, e.g., Lev 1:5; 3:2, 17; 4:5-7; 7:26-27, etc.; cf. vv. 10-16 below for more details).

[17:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 22:18, etc.). See the note on Lev 15:2.

[17:3]  ¹² tn The original LXX adds “or the sojourners who sojourn in your midst” (cf. Lev 16:29, etc., and note esp. 17:8, 10, and 13 below).

[17:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “or who slaughters from outside to the camp.”

[21:6]  ¹⁴ sn Regarding “profane,” see the note on Lev 10:10 above.

[21:6]  ¹⁵ sn Regarding the Hebrew term for “gifts,” see the note on Lev 1:9 above (cf. also 3:11 and 16 in combination with the word for “food” that follows in the next phrase here).

[21:6]  ¹⁶ tc Smr and all early versions have the plural adjective “holy” rather than the MT singular noun “holiness.”

[24:20]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “in the man [אָדָם, ’adam].”

[24:20]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “just as he inflicts an injury…it must be inflicted on him.” The referent (“that same injury”) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:33]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the owner of the animal) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:33]  ²⁰ tn Heb “And if exchanging [infinitive absolute] he exchanges it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[27:33]  ²¹ tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:33]  ²² tn Heb “it shall be and its substitute shall be holy.”
