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 22:13

22:13 but if a priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and she has no children so that she returns to live in ²  her father’s house as in her youth, ³  she may eat from her father’s food, but no lay person may eat it.

Leviticus 23:14

23:14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this very day, ⁴  until you bring the offering of your God. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations ⁵  in all the places where you live.

Leviticus 23:22

23:22 When you gather in the harvest ⁶  of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, ⁷  and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.’” ⁸ 

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”; the words “live in” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “and seed there is not to her and she returns to the house of her father as her youth.” The mention of having “no children” appears to imply that her children, if she had any, should support her; this is made explicit by NLT’s “and has no children to support her.”

³ tn Heb “until the bone of this day.”

⁴ tn Heb “for your generations.”

⁴ tn Heb “And when you harvest the harvest.”

⁵ tn Heb “you shall not complete the corner of your field in your harvest.”

⁶ sn Compare Lev 19:9-10.
