Leviticus 21:24

21:24 So ¹  Moses spoke these things ²  to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites.

Leviticus 24:12

24:12 So they placed him in custody until they were able ³  to make a clear legal decision for themselves based on words from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) introduces a concluding statement for all the preceding material.

² tn The words “these things” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

³ tn The words “until they were able” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

⁴ tn The Hebrew here is awkward. A literal reading would be something like the following: “And they placed him in custody to give a clear decision [HALOT 976 s.v. פרשׁ qal] for themselves on the mouth of the Lord.” In any case, they were apparently waiting for a direct word from the Lord regarding this matter (see vv. 13ff).
