¹ tn Heb “covenant of former ones.”

² tn The words “until they were able” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

³ 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).

³ tn Heb “like the sin offering like the guilt offering, one law to them.”

⁴ tn Heb “And.”

⁵ sn This refers to the region of fields just outside and surrounding the city where cattle were kept and garden crops were grown (B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 177).

⁵ sn Cf. Lev 4:11-12 above for the disposition of “the [rest of] the bull.”

⁶ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

⁷ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to them” or “it shall be forgiven to them.”

⁶ tn Heb “the day he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Heb “which the Lord commanded to give to them in the day he anointed them from the children of Israel.” Thus v. 36 is tied syntactically to v. 35 (see the note there).

⁸ tn Heb “for your generations”; cf. NIV “for the generations to come”; TEV “for all time to come.”

⁷ tc The MT has here “sash” (singular), but the context is clearly plural and Smr has it in the plural.

⁸ tn Heb “wrapped headdresses to them”; cf. KJV “bonnets”; NASB, TEV “caps”; NIV, NCV “headbands”; NAB, NLT “turbans.”

⁸ tn Heb “sacrifice.” This has been translated as “offer” for stylistic reasons to avoid the redundancy of “sacrifice their sacrifices.”

⁹ tn On “goat demons” of the desert regions see the note on Lev 16:8.

¹⁰ tn Heb “which they are committing harlotry after them.”

¹¹ tn Heb “for your generations.”

⁹ tn Heb “And the houses of the villages.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “which there is not to them a wall.”

¹¹ tn Heb “on the field.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “from being to them slaves.”

¹¹ tn In other words, to walk as free people and not as slaves. Cf. NIV “with (+ your CEV, NLT) heads held high”; NCV “proudly.”
