16:4 There must not be a scrap of yeast within your land ¹⁴  for seven days, nor can any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until the next morning. ¹⁵  16:5 You may not sacrifice the Passover in just any of your villages ¹⁶  that the Lord your God is giving you,

¹ tn The verb is תִּזְבַּח (tizbbakh), an imperfect tense from the same root as the genitive that qualifies the accusative “blood”: “you will not sacrifice the blood of my sacrifice.” The verb means “to slaughter”; since one cannot slaughter blood, a more general translation is required here. But if the genitive is explained as “my blood-sacrifice” (a genitive of specification; like “the evil of your doings” in Isa 1:16), then a translation of sacrifice would work (U. Cassuto, Exodus, 304).

³ tn Or “ordination offerings” (Heb “fillings”).

⁴ tn The verb in the conditional clause is a Niphal imperfect of יָתַר (yatar); this verb is repeated in the next clause (as a Niphal participle) as the direct object of the verb “you will burn” (a Qal perfect with a vav [ו] consecutive to form the instruction).

⁵ tn Heb “burn with fire.”

⁶ tn The verb is a Niphal imperfect negated. It expresses the prohibition against eating this, but in the passive voice: “it will not be eaten,” or stronger, “it must not be eaten.”

⁷ sn See M. Haran, “The Passover Sacrifice,” Studies in the Religion of Ancient Israel (VTSup), 86-116.

⁸ tn In the verse “his” refers to the offerer.

⁹ tn For the distinction between votive and freewill offerings see the note on Lev 22:23 and the literature cited there.

¹⁰ tn Heb “and on the next day and the left over from it shall be eaten.”

¹¹ tn Heb “burned with fire,” an expression which is sometimes redundant in English, but here means “burned up,” “burned up entirely” (likewise in v. 19).

¹² tn Heb “On that day”; NIV, NCV “that same day.”

¹³ tn Heb “from it.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “leaven must not be seen among you in all your border.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “remain all night until the morning” (so KJV, ASV). This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
