Laws Concerning Preservation of Life

22:1 When you see ⁵  your neighbor’s ⁶  ox or sheep going astray, do not ignore it; ⁷  you must return it without fail ⁸  to your neighbor.

[25:4]  ¹ tn Heb “an.” By implication this is one’s own animal.

[17:1]  ² tn Heb “to the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[17:1]  ³ tn The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “an abomination”; cf. NAB) describes persons, things, or practices offensive to ritual or moral order. See M. Grisanti, NIDOTTE 4:314-18; see also the note on the word “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25.

[18:3]  ³ tn Heb “judgment”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “the priest’s due.”

[22:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

[22:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

[22:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

[22:1]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”
