[18:5]  ¹ tn Heb “And you shall keep.”

[18:5]  ² tn Heb “which the man shall do them and shall live in them.” The term for “a man, human being; mankind” (אָדָם, ’adam; see the note on Lev 1:2) in this case refers to any person among “mankind,” male or female. The expression וָחַי (vakhay, “and shall live”) looks like the adjective “living” so it is written וְחָיָה (vÿkhayah) in Smr, but the MT form is simply the same verb written as a double ayin verb (see HALOT 309 s.v. חיה qal and GKC 218 §76.i; cf. Lev 25:35).

[9:29]  ³ tn Heb “if a man keep.” See note on the word “obey” in Neh 1:5.

[9:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “they gave a stubborn shoulder.”

[9:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “they stiffened their neck.”

[20:11]  ⁶ sn The laws were given at Mount Sinai.

[20:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “the man.”

[20:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “does.”

[20:11]  ⁹ tn The wording and the concept is contained in Lev 18:5 and Deut 30:15-19.

[20:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”

[20:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to bring them to an end.”

[20:21]  ¹² tn Heb “sons.”

[20:21]  ¹³ tn Or “carries them out.”

[20:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”

[3:19]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “in,” “in connection with.”

[3:12]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “is not from faith.”

[3:12]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “who does these things”; the referent (the works of the law, see 3:5) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:12]  ¹⁸ sn A quotation from Lev 18:5. The phrase the works of the law is an editorial expansion on the Greek text (see previous note); it has been left as normal typeface to indicate it is not part of the OT text.
