[3:11]  ¹ tn Heb “food, a gift to the Lord.”

[11:8]  ² sn The regulations against touching the carcasses of dead unclean animals (contrast the restriction against eating their flesh) is treated in more detail in Lev 11:24-28 (cf. also vv. 29-40). For the time being, this chapter continues to develop the issue of what can and cannot be eaten.

[11:43]  ³ tn Heb “by any of the swarming things that swarm.”

[20:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “And you shall keep my statutes and you shall do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 22:31, etc.).

[21:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) introduces a concluding statement for all the preceding material.

[21:24]  ⁶ tn The words “these things” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[23:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “for your generations.”
