Leviticus 7:36

7:36 This is what the Lord commanded to give to them from the Israelites on the day Moses ¹  anointed them ²  – a perpetual allotted portion throughout their generations. ³ 

Leviticus 24:8

24:8 Each Sabbath day ⁴  Aaron ⁵  must arrange it before the Lord continually; this portion ⁶  is from the Israelites as a perpetual covenant.

Leviticus 25:44

25:44 “‘As for your male and female slaves ⁷  who may belong to you – you may buy male and female slaves from the nations all around you. ⁸ 

¹ tn Heb “the day he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² 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).

³ tn Heb “for your generations”; cf. NIV “for the generations to come”; TEV “for all time to come.”

⁴ tn Heb “In the day of the Sabbath, in the day of the Sabbath.” The repetition is distributive. A few medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, and the Syriac delete the second occurrence of the expression.

⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Aaron) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn The word “portion” is supplied in the translation here for clarity, to specify what “this” refers to.

⁷ tn Heb “And your male slave and your female slave.” Smr has these as plural terms, “slaves,” not singular.

⁸ tn Heb “ from the nations which surround you, from them you shall buy male slave and female slave.”
