¹ tn The Hebrew term פָּרֹכֶת (parokhet) is usually translated “veil” or “curtain,” but it seems to have stretched not only in front of but also over the top of the ark of the covenant which stood behind and under it inside the most holy place (see R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 3:687-89).

² tc Several medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, and the LXX add “and his sons.”

³ tn Heb “for your generations.”

⁴ sn See v. 7, where this altar is identified as the altar of fragrant incense.

⁷ tn Heb “And all man shall not be in the tent of meeting.” The term for “a man, human being” (אָדָם, ’adam; see the note on Lev 1:2) refers to any person among “mankind,” male or female.
