Genesis 20:6

James 2:9

2:9 But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators. ²⁶ 

James 2:11

2:11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” ²⁷  also said, “Do not murder.” ²⁸  Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law.

[9:6]  ¹ tn Heb “the blood of man.”

[9:6]  ² tn Heb “by man,” a generic term here for other human beings.

[9:6]  ³ sn See the notes on the words “humankind” and “likeness” in Gen 1:26, as well as J. Barr, “The Image of God in the Book of Genesis – A Study of Terminology,” BJRL 51 (1968/69): 11-26.

[9:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “with the integrity of your heart.”

[20:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I, even I, kept you.”

[20:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “therefore.”

[39:9]  ⁸ tn The nuance of potential imperfect fits this context.

[6:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “trespasses a trespass” (verb and direct object from the same Hebrew root מַעַל, ma’al). See the note on 5:15.

[6:2]  ¹⁰ tn Or “neighbor” (ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); NASB “companion”; TEV “a fellow-Israelite.”

[6:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “has extorted his neighbor”; ASV “oppressed”; NRSV “defrauded.”

[6:3]  ¹² tn Heb “and swears on falsehood”; cf. CEV “deny something while under oath.”

[6:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “on one from all which the man shall do to sin in them.”

[6:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and it shall happen, when he sins and becomes guilty,” which is both resumptive of the previous (vv. 2-3) and the conclusion to the protasis (cf. “then” introducing the next clause as the apodosis). In this case, “becomes guilty” (cf. NASB, NIV) probably refers to his legal status as one who has been convicted of a crime in court; thus the translation “he is found guilty.” See R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:559-61.

[6:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “that had been held in trust with him.”

[6:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “or from all which he swears on it to falsehood.”

[6:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “in its head.” This refers “the full amount” in terms of the “principal,” the original item or amount obtained illegally (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:338; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 84).

[6:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “to whom it is to him he shall give it in the day of his being guilty.” The present translation is based on the view that he has been found guilty through the legal process (see the note on v. 4 above; cf., e.g., TEV and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 33-34). Others translate the latter part as “in the day he offers his guilt [reparation] offering” (e.g., NIV and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 73, 84), or “in the day he realizes his guilt” (e.g., NRSV and J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:319, 338).

[6:6]  ¹⁹ tn The words “into silver shekels” are supplied here. See the full expression in Lev 5:15, and compare 5:18. Cf. NRSV “or its equivalent”; NLT “or the animal’s equivalent value in silver.”

[6:7]  ²⁰ sn Regarding “make atonement” see the note on Lev 1:4.

[6:7]  ²¹ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[6:7]  ²² tn Heb “on one from all which he does to become guilty in it”; NAB “whatever guilt he may have incurred.”

[6:2]  ²³ tn Heb “trespasses a trespass” (verb and direct object from the same Hebrew root מַעַל, ma’al). See the note on 5:15.

[6:2]  ²⁴ tn Or “neighbor” (ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); NASB “companion”; TEV “a fellow-Israelite.”

[6:2]  ²⁵ tn Heb “has extorted his neighbor”; ASV “oppressed”; NRSV “defrauded.”

[2:9]  ²⁶ tn Or “transgressors.”
