The Consequences of Disobedience
26:14 “‘If, however, 10 you do not obey me and keep 11 all these commandments –
1 tn Heb “which the Lord commanded you shall/should do.”
2 tn Heb “and the glory of the Lord will appear,” but the construction with the simple vav (ו) plus the imperfect/jussive (וְיֵרָא, vÿyera’; literally, “and he will appear”) suggests purpose in this context, not just succession of events (i.e., “so that he might appear”).
3 tn Heb “My regulations you shall do”; KJV, NASB “my judgments”; NRSV “My ordinances”; NIV, TEV “my laws.”
4 tn Heb “and my statutes you shall keep [or “watch; guard”] to walk in them.”
5 sn Regarding the difficult etymology and meaning of the term for “idols” (אֱלִילִים, ’elilim), see B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 126; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 304; N. H. Snaith, Leviticus and Numbers (NBC), 89; and Judith M. Hadley, NIDOTTE 1:411. It appears to be a diminutive play on words with אֵל (’el, “god; God”) and, perhaps at the same time, recalls a common Semitic word for “worthless; weak; powerless; nothingness.” Snaith suggests a rendering of “worthless godlings.”
7 sn Compare Lev 21:20b.
9 tn Heb “work of service”; KJV “servile work”; NASB “laborious work”; TEV “daily work.”
11 tn Heb “for your generations.”
13 tn Heb “work of service”; KJV “servile work”; NASB “laborious work”; TEV “daily work.”
15 tn Heb “And if.”
16 tn Heb “and do not do.”
