Ezekiel 18:12

18:12 oppresses the poor and the needy, ¹  commits robbery, does not give back what was given in pledge, prays to ²  idols, performs abominable acts,

Leviticus 18:26-30

18:26 You yourselves must obey ³  my statutes and my regulations and must not do any of these abominations, both the native citizen and the resident foreigner in your midst, ⁴  18:27 for the people who were in the land before you have done all these abominations, ⁵  and the land has become unclean. 18:28 So do not make the land vomit you out because you defile it ⁶  just as it has vomited out the nations ⁷  that were before you. 18:29 For if anyone does any of these abominations, the persons who do them will be cut off from the midst of their people. ⁸  18:30 You must obey my charge to not practice any of the abominable statutes ⁹  that have been done before you, so that you do not ¹⁰  defile yourselves by them. I am the Lord your God.’”

Leviticus 20:13

20:13 If a man has sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman, ¹¹  the two of them have committed an abomination. They must be put to death; their blood guilt is on themselves.

20:1 The Lord spoke to Moses:

Leviticus 11:5-7

11:5 The rock badger ¹²  is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided. 11:6 The hare is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided. 11:7 The pig is unclean to you because its hoof is divided (the hoof is completely split in two ¹³ ), even though it does not chew the cud. ¹⁴ 

Leviticus 11:1

Clean and Unclean Land Creatures

11:1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,

Leviticus 4:3

For the Priest

4:3 “‘If the high priest ¹⁵  sins so that the people are guilty, ¹⁶  on account of the sin he has committed he must present a flawless young bull to the Lord ¹⁷  for a sin offering. ¹⁸ 

Revelation 21:8

21:8 But to the cowards, unbelievers, detestable persons, murderers, the sexually immoral, and those who practice magic spells, ¹⁹  idol worshipers, ²⁰  and all those who lie, their place ²¹  will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. ²²  That ²³  is the second death.”

Revelation 21:27

21:27 but ²⁴  nothing ritually unclean ²⁵  will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable ²⁶  or practices falsehood, ²⁷  but only those whose names ²⁸  are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

[18:12]  ¹ sn The poor and needy are often mentioned together in the OT (Deut 24:14; Jer 22:16; Ezek 14:69; Ps 12:6; 35:10; 37:14).

[18:12]  ² tn Heb “lifts up his eyes.”

[18:26]  ³ tn Heb “And you shall keep, you.” The latter emphatic personal pronoun “you” is left out of a few medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate.

[18:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “the native and the sojourner”; NIV “The native-born and the aliens”; NAB “whether natives or resident aliens.”

[18:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “for all these abominations the men of the land who were before you have done.”

[18:28]  ⁶ tn Heb “And the land will not vomit you out in your defiling it.”

[18:28]  ⁷ tc The MT reads the singular “nation” and is followed by ASV, NASB, NRSV; the LXX, Syriac, and Targum have the plural “nations” (cf. v. 24).

[18:29]  ⁸ sn Regarding the “cut off” penalty see the note on Lev 7:20.

[18:30]  ⁹ tn Heb “to not do from the statutes of the detestable acts.”

[18:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and you will not.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[20:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “[as the] lyings of a woman.” The specific reference here is to homosexual intercourse between males.

[11:5]  ¹² sn A small animal generally understood to be Hyrax syriacus; KJV, ASV, NIV “coney”; NKJV “rock hyrax.”

[11:7]  ¹³ tn See the note on Lev 11:3.

[11:7]  ¹⁴ tn The meaning and basic rendering of this clause is quite certain, but the verb for “chewing” the cud here is not the same as the preceding verses, where the expression is “to bring up the cud” (see the note on v. 3 above). It appears to be a cognate verb for the noun “cud” (גֵּרָה, gerah) and could mean either “to drag up” (i.e., from the Hebrew Qal of גָרָר [garar] meaning “to drag,” referring to the dragging the cud up and down between the stomach and mouth of the ruminant animal; so J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:647, 653) or “to chew” (i.e., from the Hebrew Niphal [or Qal B] of גָרָר used in a reciprocal sense; so J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 149, and compare BDB 176 s.v. גָרַר, “to chew,” with HALOT 204 s.v. גרר qal.B, “to ruminate”).

[4:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the anointed priest” (so ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV). This refers to the high priest (cf. TEV, CEV, NLT).

[4:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to the guilt of the people”; NRSV “thus bringing guilt on the people.”

[4:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he shall offer on his sin which he sinned, a bull, a son of the herd, flawless.”

[4:3]  ¹⁸ sn The word for “sin offering” (sometimes translated “purification offering”) is the same as the word for “sin” earlier in the verse. One can tell which rendering is intended only by the context. The primary purpose of the “sin offering” (חַטָּאת, khatta’t) was to “purge” (כִּפֶּר, kipper, “to make atonement,” see 4:20, 26, 31, 35, and the notes on Lev 1:4 and esp. Lev 16:20, 33) the sanctuary or its furniture in order to cleanse it from any impurities and/or (re)consecrate it for holy purposes (see, e.g., Lev 8:15; 16:19). By making this atonement the impurities of the person or community were cleansed and the people became clean. See R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:93-103.

[21:8]  ¹⁹ tn On the term φαρμακεία (farmakeia, “magic spells”) see L&N 53.100: “the use of magic, often involving drugs and the casting of spells upon people – ‘to practice magic, to cast spells upon, to engage in sorcery, magic, sorcery.’ φαρμακεία: ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ‘with your magic spells you deceived all the peoples (of the world)’ Re 18:23.”

[21:8]  ²⁰ tn Grk “idolaters.”

[21:8]  ²¹ tn Grk “their share.”

[21:8]  ²² tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

[21:8]  ²³ tn Grk “sulfur, which is.” The relative pronoun has been translated as “that” to indicate its connection to the previous clause. The nearest logical antecedent is “the lake [that burns with fire and sulfur],” although “lake” (λίμνη, limnh) is feminine gender, while the pronoun “which” (ὅ, Jo) is neuter gender. This means that (1) the proper antecedent could be “their place” (Grk “their share,”) agreeing with the relative pronoun in number and gender, or (2) the neuter pronoun still has as its antecedent the feminine noun “lake,” since agreement in gender between pronoun and antecedent was not always maintained, with an explanatory phrase occurring with a neuter pronoun regardless of the case of the antecedent. In favor of the latter explanation is Rev 20:14, where the phrase “the lake of fire” is in apposition to the phrase “the second death.”

[21:27]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[21:27]  ²⁵ tn Here BDAG 552 s.v. κοινός 2 states, “pert. to being of little value because of being common, common, ordinary, profane…b. specifically, of that which is ceremonially impure: Rv 21:27.”

[21:27]  ²⁶ tn Or “what is abhorrent”; Grk “who practices abominations.”

[21:27]  ²⁷ tn Grk “practicing abomination or falsehood.” Because of the way βδέλυγμα (bdelugma) has been translated (“does what is detestable”) it was necessary to repeat the idea from the participle ποιῶν (poiwn, “practices”) before the term “falsehood.” On this term, BDAG 1097 s.v. ψεῦδος states, “ποιεῖν ψεῦδος practice (the things that go with) falsehood Rv 21:27; 22:15.” Cf. Rev 3:9.

[21:27]  ²⁸ tn Grk “those who are written”; the word “names” is implied.
