[19:27] 1 tc Heb “and you [singular] shall not ruin the corner of your [singular] beard.” Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Tg. Ps.-J. have the plural pronouns (i.e., “you” and “your” plural) rather than the singular of the MT.
[21:5] 2 tn Heb “they”; the referent (priests, see the beginning of v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[21:5] 3 tn Heb “and in their body they shall not [cut] slash[es]” (cf. Lev 19:28). The context connects these sorts of mutilations with mourning rites (cf. Lev 19:27-28 above).
[19:9] 3 tn Heb “And in your harvesting the harvest.”
[19:9] 4 tn Heb “you shall not complete the corner of your field to harvest.”
[23:22] 4 tn Heb “And when you harvest the harvest.”
[23:22] 5 tn Heb “you shall not complete the corner of your field in your harvest.”
[23:22] 6 sn Compare Lev 19:9-10.
