[3:17]  ¹ tn The words “This is” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied due to requirements of English style.

[3:17]  ² tn Heb “for your generations”; NAB “for your descendants”; NLT “for you and all your descendants.”

[3:17]  ³ tn Heb “all fat and all blood you must not eat.”

[4:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall take up from it.”

[4:8]  ⁵ tc The MT has here the preposition עַל (’al, “on, upon” [i.e., “which covers on the entrails,” as awkward in Hebrew as it is in English]), but Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Targums read אֶת (’et), which is what would be expected (i.e., “which covers the entrails”; cf. Lev 3:3, 9, 14). It may have been mistakenly inserted here under the influence of “on (עַל) the entrails” at the end of the verse.

[4:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “and all the fat on the entrails.” The fat layer that covers the entrails as a whole (i.e., “that covers the entrails”) is different from the fat that surrounds and adheres to the various organs (“on the entrails,” i.e., surrounding them; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:205-7).

[4:29]  ⁷ tc The LXX has a plural form here (see v. 24 above and the note on Lev 1:5a).

[9:13]  ⁸ tn See the note on v. 12.

[9:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “and the burnt offering they handed to him to its parts and the head.”

[18:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “And from your seed you shall not give to cause to pass over to Molech.” Smr (cf. also the LXX) has “to cause to serve” rather than “to cause to pass over.” For detailed remarks on Molech and Molech worship see N. H. Snaith, Leviticus and Numbers (NCBC), 87-88; P. J. Budd, Leviticus (NCBC), 259-60; and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 333-37, and the literature cited there. It could refer to either human sacrifice or a devotion of children to some sort of service of Molech, perhaps of a sexual sort (cf. Lev 20:2-5; 2 Kgs 23:10, etc.). The inclusion of this prohibition against Molech worship here may be due to some sexual connection of this kind, or perhaps simply to the lexical link between זֶרַע (zera’) meaning “seed, semen” in v. 20 but “offspring” in v. 21.

[18:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and you shall not profane.” Regarding “profane,” see the note on Lev 10:10 above.

[21:9]  ¹² tn See the note on “burned to death” in 20:14.

[23:35]  ¹³ tn Heb “work of service”; KJV “servile work”; NASB “laborious work”; TEV “daily work.”

[25:40]  ¹⁴ tn See the note on Lev 25:6 above.

[25:44]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And your male slave and your female slave.” Smr has these as plural terms, “slaves,” not singular.

[25:44]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “ from the nations which surround you, from them you shall buy male slave and female slave.”
