Leviticus 18:1

Exhortation to Obedience and Life

18:1 The Lord spoke to Moses:

Matthew 23:35

23:35 so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, ⁵  whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Luke 11:51

11:51 from the blood of Abel ⁶  to the blood of Zechariah, ⁷  who was killed ⁸  between the altar and the sanctuary. ⁹  Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against ¹⁰  this generation.

¹ tn Heb “from to the faces of the Lord.” The rendering here is based on the use of “my faces” and “your faces” referring to the very “presence” of the Lord in Exod 33:14-15.

² tn Heb “fell on their faces.” Many English versions and commentaries render here “shouted for joy” (e.g., NIV; cf. NCV, NLT) or “shouted joyfully,” but the fact the people “fell on their faces” immediately afterward suggests that they were frightened as, for example, in Exod 19:16b; 20:18-21.

³ sn This eighth day is the one after the seven days of ordination referred to in Lev 8:33-35.

⁴ tn Heb “called to”; CEV, NLT “called together.”

⁵ sn Spelling of this name (Βαραχίου, Baraciou) varies among the English versions: “Barachiah” (RSV, NRSV); “Berechiah” (NASB); “Berachiah” (NIV).

⁶ sn Gen 4:10 indicates that Abel’s blood cried out for justice.

⁷ sn It is not clear which Zechariah is meant here. It is probably the person mentioned in 2 Chr 24:20-25.

⁸ tn Or “who perished.”

⁹ tn Or “and the temple”; Grk “and the house,” but in this context a reference to the house of God as a place of sanctuary.

¹⁰ tn Or “required from.”
