Leviticus 19:33

19:33 When a foreigner resides ¹  with you in your land, you must not oppress him.

Leviticus 25:45

25:45 Also you may buy slaves ²  from the children of the foreigners who reside with you, and from their families that are ³  with you, whom they have fathered in your land, they may become your property.

Leviticus 26:5-6

26:5 Threshing season will extend for you until the season for harvesting grapes, ⁴  and the season for harvesting grapes will extend until sowing season, so ⁵  you will eat your bread until you are satisfied, ⁶  and you will live securely in your land. 26:6 I will grant peace in the land so that ⁷  you will lie down to sleep without anyone terrifying you. ⁸  I will remove harmful animals ⁹  from the land, and no sword of war ¹⁰  will pass through your land.

Leviticus 26:1

Exhortation to Obedience

26:1 “‘You must not make for yourselves idols, ¹¹  so you must not set up for yourselves a carved image or a pillar, and you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down before ¹²  it, for I am the Lord your God.

[19:33]  ¹ tn Heb “And when a sojourner sojourns.”

[25:45]  ² tn The word “slaves” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied here.

[25:45]  ³ tn Heb “family which is” (i.e., singular rather than plural).

[26:5]  ³ tn Heb “will reach for you the vintage season.”

[26:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[26:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “to satisfaction”; KJV, ASV, NASB “to the full.”

[26:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[26:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[26:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).

[26:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.

[26:1]  ⁵ sn For the literature regarding the difficult etymology and meaning of the term for “idols” (אֱלִילִם, ’elilim), see the literature cited in the note on Lev 19:4. It appears to be a diminutive play on words with אֵל (’el, “god, God”) and, perhaps at the same time, recalls a common Semitic word for “worthless, weak, powerless, nothingness.” Snaith suggests a rendering of “worthless godlings.”

[26:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “on.” The “sculpted stone” appears to be some sort of stone with images carved into (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 181, and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 449).
