[19:8]  ⁴ sn On the “cut off” penalty see the note on Lev 7:20.

[20:5]  ⁵ tn The adjective “spiritual” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that this is not a reference to literal prostitution, but figuratively compares idolatry to prostitution.

[20:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “to commit harlotry after Molech.” The translation employs “worshiping” here for clarity (cf. NAB, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT). On the “cut off” penalty see the note on Lev 7:20.

[20:6]  ⁷ sn For structure and coherence in Lev 20:6-27 see the note on v. 27 below.

[20:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the two of them.”

[21:8]  ¹¹ tn The three previous second person references in this verse are all singular, but this reference is plural. By adding “all” this grammatical distinction is preserved in the translation.

[22:9]  ¹² tn Heb “and they will not lift up on it sin.” The pronoun “it” (masculine) apparently refers to any item of food that belongs to the category of “holy offerings” (see above).

[22:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “and die in it.”
