Leviticus 26:39

Restoration through Confession and Repentance

26:39 “‘As for the ones who remain among you, they will rot away because of ¹²  their iniquity in the lands of your enemies, and they will also rot away because of their ancestors’ ¹³  iniquities which are with them.

[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”).

[18:24]  ³ tn Heb “which I am sending away (Piel participle of שָׁלַח [shalakh, “to send”]) from your faces.” The rendering here takes the participle as anticipatory of the coming conquest events.

[23:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “these are them, my appointed times.”

[24:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “and let them take.” The simple vav (ו) on the imperfect/jussive form of the verb לָקַח (laqakh, “to take”) following the imperative (“Command”) indicates a purpose clause (“to bring…”).

[24:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “to cause to ascend a lamp continually.”

[25:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “consecrated, devoted, forbidden” (נָזִיר, nazir). The same term is used for the “consecration” of the “Nazirite” (and his hair, Num 6:2, 18, etc.), a designation which, in turn, derives from the very same root.

[25:23]  ⁷ tn The term rendered “without reclaim” means that the land has been bought for the full price and is, therefore, not subject to reclaim under any circumstances. This was not to be done with land in ancient Israel (contrast the final full sale of houses in v. 30; see the evidence cited in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 174).

[25:23]  ⁸ tn That is, the Israelites were strangers and residents who were attached to the Lord’s household. They did not own the land. Note the parallel to the “priest’s lodger” in Lev 22:10.

[26:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[26:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “the tree of the field will give its fruit.” As a collective singular this has been translated as plural.

[26:39]  ⁹ tn Heb “in” (so KJV, ASV; also later in this verse).

[26:39]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “fathers’” (also in the following verse).
