[3:8]  ¹ tn See the note on this term at 1:5.

[14:11]  ² tn The MT here is awkward to translate into English. It reads literally, “and the priest who pronounces clean (Piel participle of טָהֵר, taher) shall cause to stand (Hiphil of עָמַד, ’amad) the man who is cleansing himself (Hitpael participle of טָהֵר) and them” (i.e., the offerings listed in v. 10; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity). Alternatively, the Piel of טָהֵר could be rendered “who performs the cleansing/purification” (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:827), perhaps even as a technical term for one who holds the office of “purification priest” (B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 87). It is probably better, however, to retain the same meaning here as in v. 7 above (see the note there regarding the declarative Piel use of this verb).

[14:23]  ³ tn Heb “to the doorway of”; KJV, ASV “unto the door of.”

[16:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “the two he-goats,” referred to as “two he-goats of goats” in v. 5.

[17:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “to make it,” meaning “to make the sacrifice.”

[17:9]  ⁶ tn For remarks on the “cut off” penalty see the note on v. 4 above.

[19:21]  ⁷ sn On the guilt offering see the note on Lev 5:15 above.

[23:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “these are them, my appointed times.”

[23:2]  sn The term מוֹעֵד (mo’ed, rendered “appointed time” here) can refer to either a time or place of meeting. See the note on “tent of meeting” (אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, ’ohel mo’ed) in Lev 1:1.

[23:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “work of service”; KJV “servile work”; NASB “laborious work”; TEV “daily work.”

[23:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a memorial of loud blasts.” Although the term for “horn” does not occur here, allowing for the possibility that vocal “shouts” of acclamation are envisioned (see P. J. Budd, Leviticus [NCBC], 325), the “blast” of the shofar (a trumpet made from a ram’s “horn”) is most likely what is intended. On this occasion, the loud blasts on the horn announced the coming of the new year on the first day of the seventh month (see the explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 387, and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 160).

[23:27]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Surely the tenth day” or perhaps “Precisely the tenth day.” The Hebrew adverbial particle אַךְ (’akh) is left untranslated by most recent English versions; cf. however NASB “On exactly the tenth day.”

[23:27]  ¹² sn See the description of this day and its regulations in Lev 16 and the notes there.

[23:27]  ¹³ tn Heb “you shall humble your souls.” See the note on Lev 16:29 above.
