Leviticus 17:8-9

17:8 “You are to say to them: ‘Any man from the house of Israel or from the foreigners who reside in their midst, who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice 17:9 but does not bring it to the entrance of the Meeting Tent to offer it to the Lord – that person will be cut off from his people.


tn Heb “Man, man.” The repetition of the word “man” is distributive, meaning “any [or “every”] man” (GKC 395-96 §123.c; cf. Lev 15:2).

tn Heb “and.” Here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has an alternative sense (“or”).

tn Heb “from the sojourner who sojourns.”

tc The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate have “your” (plural) rather than “their.”

tn Heb “causes to go up.”

tn Heb “to make it,” meaning “to make the sacrifice.”

tn For remarks on the “cut off” penalty see the note on v. 4 above.
