14:35 then whoever owns the house ⁷  must come and declare to the priest, ‘Something like an infection is visible to me in the house.’

[19:3]  ¹ tn Heb “A man his mother and his father you [plural] shall fear.” The LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, and certain Targum mss reverse the order, “his father and his mother.” The term “fear” is subject to misunderstanding by the modern reader, so “respect” has been used in the translation. Cf. NAB, NRSV “revere”; NASB “reverence.”

[26:2]  ² tn Heb “and my sanctuary you shall fear.” Cf. NCV “respect”; CEV “honor.”

[15:31]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they.” Here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) indicates a negative purpose (“lest,” so NAB, NASB).

[26:11]  ⁵ tn LXX codexes Vaticanus and Alexandrinus have “my covenant” rather than “my tabernacle.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV “my dwelling.”

[26:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “and my soul [נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh] will not abhor you.”

[14:35]  ⁷ tn Heb “who to him the house.”
