[27:21]  1 tn The LXX has mistakenly rendered this name “the tent of the testimony.”

[27:21]  2 sn The lamps were to be removed in the morning so that the wicks could be trimmed and the oil replenished (30:7) and then lit every evening to burn through the night.

[27:21]  3 sn This is the first of several sections of priestly duties. The point is a simple one here: those who lead the worship use the offerings of the people to ensure that access to God is illumined regularly. The NT will make much of the symbolism of light.

[17:7]  4 tn Heb “sacrifice.” This has been translated as “offer” for stylistic reasons to avoid the redundancy of “sacrifice their sacrifices.”

[17:7]  5 tn On “goat demons” of the desert regions see the note on Lev 16:8.

[17:7]  6 tn Heb “which they are committing harlotry after them.”

[17:7]  7 tn Heb “for your generations.”
