Leviticus 1:17

1:17 and tear it open by its wings without dividing it into two parts. ¹  Finally, the priest must offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is in the fire – it is a burnt offering, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

Leviticus 11:26

Inedible Land Quadrupeds

11:26 “‘All ²  animals that divide the hoof but it is not completely split in two ³  and do not chew the cud ⁴  are unclean to you; anyone who touches them becomes unclean. ⁵ 

¹ tn Heb “he shall not divide it.” Several Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, and Syriac have a vav on the negative, yielding the translation, “but he shall not divide it into two parts.” Cf. NIV “not severing it completely” (NRSV similar).

² tn Heb “to all” (cf. the note on v. 24). This and the following verses develop more fully the categories of uncleanness set forth in principle in vv. 24-25.

³ tn Heb “divides hoof and cleft it does not cleave”; KJV “divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted”; NLT “divided but unsplit hooves.”

⁴ tn See the note on Lev 11:3.

⁵ sn Compare the regulations in Lev 11:2-8.
