Leviticus 2:12

2:12 You can present them to the Lord as an offering of first fruit, ¹  but they must not go up to the altar for a soothing aroma.

Leviticus 11:21

11:21 However, this you may eat from all the winged swarming things that walk on all fours, which have jointed legs ²  to hop with on the land.

Leviticus 14:35

14:35 then whoever owns the house ³  must come and declare to the priest, ‘Something like an infection is visible to me in the house.’

Leviticus 14:37

14:37 He is to examine the infection, and if ⁴  the infection in the walls of the house consists of yellowish green or reddish eruptions, ⁵  and it appears to be deeper than the surface of the wall, ⁶ 

Leviticus 19:31

19:31 Do not turn to the spirits of the dead and do not seek familiar spirits ⁷  to become unclean by them. I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 26:15

26:15 if you reject my statutes and abhor my regulations so that you do not keep ⁸  all my commandments and you break my covenant –

[2:12]  ¹ sn The “first fruit” referred to here was given to the priests as a prebend for their service to the Lord, not offered on the altar (Num 18:12).

[11:21]  ² tn Heb “which to it are lower legs from above to its feet” (reading the Qere “to it” rather than the Kethib “not”).

[14:35]  ³ tn Heb “who to him the house.”

[14:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[14:37]  ⁵ tn For “yellowish green and reddish” see Lev 13:49. The Hebrew term translated “eruptions” occurs only here and its meaning is uncertain. For a detailed summary of the issues and views see J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:870. The suggestions include, among others: (1) “depressions” from Hebrew שׁקע (“sink”) or קער as the root of the Hebrew term for “bowl” (LXX, Targums, NAB, NASB, NIV; see also B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 90), (2) “streaks” (ASV, NJPS), (3) and “eruptions” as a loan-word from Egyptian sqr r rwtj (“eruption; rash”); cf. Milgrom, 870; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 198-99. The latter view is taken here.

[14:37]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term קִיר (qir,“wall”) refers to the surface of the wall in this case, which normally consisted of a coating of plaster made of limestone and sand (see HALOT 1099 s.v. קִיר 1.a; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:871; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 199).

[19:31]  ⁵ sn The prohibition here concerns those who would seek special knowledge through the spirits of the dead, whether the dead in general or dead relatives in particular (i.e., familiar spirits; see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 321, and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 134). Cf. Lev 20:6 below.

[26:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “to not do.”
