Keluaran 22:5

22:5 “If a man grazes ¹  his livestock ²  in a field or a vineyard, and he lets the livestock loose and they graze in the field of another man, he must make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.

Keluaran 34:14

34:14 For you must not worship ³  any other god, ⁴  for the Lord, whose name ⁵  is Jealous, is a jealous God.

[22:5]  ¹ tn The verb בָּעַר (ba’ar, “graze”) as a denominative from the word “livestock” is not well attested. So some have suggested that with slight changes this verse could be read: “If a man cause a field or a vineyard to be burnt, and let the burning spread, and it burnt in another man’s field” (see S. R. Driver, Exodus, 225).

[22:5]  ² tn The phrase “his livestock” is supplied from the next clause.

[34:14]  ³ tn Heb “bow down.”

[34:14]  ⁴ sn In Exod 20:3 it was “gods.”

[34:14]  ⁵ sn Here, too, the emphasis on God’s being a jealous God is repeated (see Exod 20:5). The use of “name” here is to stress that this is his nature, his character.
