Leviticus 25:3

25:3 Six years you may sow your field, and six years you may prune your vineyard and gather the produce,

Leviticus 25:20

25:20 If you say, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow and gather our produce?’

Leviticus 26:25

26:25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. Although you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands.

Leviticus 23:39

23:39 “‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the produce of the land, you must celebrate a pilgrim festival of the Lord for seven days. On the first day is a complete rest and on the eighth day is complete rest.


tn Heb “its produce,” but the feminine pronoun “its” probably refers to the “land” (a feminine noun in Hebrew; cf. v. 2), not the “field” or the “vineyard,” both of which are normally masculine nouns (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 170).

tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”

tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.

tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).

tn Heb “Surely on the fifteenth day.” The Hebrew adverbial particle אַךְ (’akh) is left untranslated by most recent English versions; however, cf. NASB “On exactly the fifteenth day.”
