[38:24]  1 tn Heb “it was told to Judah, saying.”

[38:24]  2 tn Or “has been sexually promiscuous.” The verb may refer here to loose or promiscuous activity, not necessarily prostitution.

[38:24]  3 tn Heb “and also look, she is with child by prostitution.”

[20:10]  4 tn Heb “And a man who.” The syntax here and at the beginning of the following verses elliptically mirrors that of v. 9, which justifies the rendering as a conditional clause.

[20:10]  5 tc The reading of the LXX minuscule mss has been followed here (see the BHS footnote a-a). The MT has a dittography, repeating “a man who commits adultery with the wife of” (see the explanation in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 328). The duplication found in the MT is reflected in some English versions, e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV.

[22:21]  6 tn The Hebrew term נְבָלָה (nÿvalah) means more than just something stupid. It refers to a moral lapse so serious as to jeopardize the whole covenant community (cf. Gen 34:7; Judg 19:23; 20:6, 10; Jer 29:23). See C. Pan, NIDOTTE 3:11-13. Cf. NAB “she committed a crime against Israel.”

[22:21]  7 tn Heb “burn.” See note on Deut 21:21.

[22:22]  8 tn Heb “lying with” (so KJV, NASB), a Hebrew idiom for sexual relations.

[22:22]  9 tn Heb “a woman married to a husband.”

[22:22]  10 tn Heb “burn.” See note on the phrase “purge out” in Deut 21:21.

[22:23]  11 tn Heb “finds.”

[22:23]  12 tn Heb “lies with.”

[22:24]  13 tn Heb “humbled.”

[22:24]  14 tn Heb “wife.”

[22:24]  15 tn Heb “burn.” See note on the phrase “purge out” in Deut 21:21.

[8:4]  16 tn Grk “to him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:5]  17 sn An allusion to Lev 20:10 and Deut 22:22-24.

[8:5]  18 sn The accusers themselves subtly misrepresented the law. The Mosaic law stated that in the case of adultery, both the man and woman must be put to death (Lev 20:10, Deut 22:22), but they mentioned only such women.
