Leviticus 21:9

21:9 If a daughter of a priest profanes herself by engaging in prostitution, she is profaning her father. She must be burned to death. ⁶

Leviticus 10:20

Leviticus 1:5

¹ tn Heb “these are them, my appointed times.”

² tn Heb “And you shall proclaim [an assembly] in the bone of this day; a holy assembly it shall be to you” (see the remarks in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 160, and the remarks on the LXX rendering in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 367).

³ tn Heb “for your generations.”

⁴ tn The LXX has “[their] burnt offerings, and their sacrifices, and their drink offerings.”

⁵ tn Heb “a matter of a day in its day”; NAB “as prescribed for each day”; NRSV, NLT “each on its proper day.”

⁶ tn See the note on “burned to death” in 20:14.

⁷ tn Heb “except for his flesh, the one near to him.”

⁸ tn Heb “it was good in his eyes” (an idiom). Cf. KJV “he was content”; NLT “he approved.”

⁹ tn See the note on 9:24a.

¹⁰ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (the offerer) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The LXX has “they” rather than “he,” suggesting that the priests, not the offerer, were to slaughter the bull (cf. the notes on vv. 6a and 9a).

¹¹ tn Heb “the son of the herd”; cf. KJV “bullock”; NASB, NIV “young bull.”

¹² tn “Splash” (cf. NAB) or “dash” (cf. NRSV) is better than “sprinkle,” which is the common English translation of this verb (זָרַק, zaraq; see, e.g., KJV, NASB, NIV, NLT). “Sprinkle” is not strong enough (contrast נָזָה [nazah], which does indeed mean “to sprinkle” or “to splatter”; cf. Lev 4:6).
