Imamat 22:3

22:3 Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, ³  if any man from all your descendants approaches the holy offerings which the Israelites consecrate ⁴  to the Lord while he is impure, ⁵  that person must be cut off from before me. ⁶  I am the Lord.

[9:3]  ¹ tn Heb “a he-goat of goats.”

[9:3]  ² tn Heb “and a calf and a lamb, sons of a year, flawless”; KJV, ASV, NRSV “without blemish”; NASB, NIV “without defect”; NLT “with no physical defects.”

[22:3]  ³ tn Heb “To your generations.”

[22:3]  ⁴ tn The Piel (v. 2) and Hiphil (v. 3) forms of the verb קָדַשׁ (qadash) appear to be interchangeable in this context. Both mean “to consecrate” (Heb “make holy [or “sacred”]”).

[22:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “and his impurity [is] on him”; NIV “is ceremonially unclean”; NAB, NRSV “while he is in a state of uncleanness.”

[22:3]  ⁶ sn Regarding the “cut off” penalty, see the note on Lev 7:20. Cf. the interpretive translation of TEV “he can never again serve at the altar.”
