[2:3]  ¹ tn Heb “…is to Aaron and to his sons.” The preposition “to” (לְ, lamed) indicates ownership. Cf. NAB, NASB, NIV and other English versions.

[2:3]  ² tn The words “it is” (הוּא, hu’) are not in the MT, but are supplied for the sake of translation into English. The Syriac also for translational reasons adds it between “most holy” and “from the gifts” (cf. 1:13, 17).

[2:3]  ³ tn Heb “holy of holies”; KJV, NASB “a thing most holy.”

[2:10]  ⁴ tn See the note on “it is” in v. 9b.

[6:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “holiness of holinesses [or holy of holies] it is” (also in 7:1).

[7:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “holiness of holinesses [or holy of holies] it is”; NAB “most sacred”; TEV “very holy.”

[19:8]  ¹³ tn See the note on Lev 17:16 above.

[19:8]  ¹⁴ sn Regarding “profaned,” see the note on Lev 10:10 above.

[19:8]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the holiness of the Lord.”

[19:8]  ¹⁶ sn On the “cut off” penalty see the note on Lev 7:20.

[22:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “And a man, if he eats a holy thing in error” (see the Lev 4:2 not on “straying,” which is the term rendered “by mistake” here).

[22:14]  ¹⁷ sn When a person trespassed in regard to something sacred to the Lord, reparation was to be made for the trespass, involving restitution of that which was violated plus one fifth of its value as a fine. It is possible that the restoration of the offering and the additional one fifth of its value were made as a monetary payment (see, e.g., B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 150). See the regulations for the “guilt offering” in Lev 5:16; 6:5 [5:24 HT] and the notes there.

[23:7]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “work of service”; KJV “servile work”; NASB “laborious work”; TEV “daily work.”

[27:21]  ²⁸ tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).

[27:21]  ²⁹ tn Heb “like the field of the permanent dedication.” The Hebrew word חֵרֶם (kherem) is a much discussed term. In this and the following verses it refers in a general way to the fact that something is permanently devoted to the Lord and therefore cannot be redeemed (cf. v. 20b). See J. A. Naudé, NIDOTTE 2:276-77; N. Lohfink, TDOT 5:180-99, esp. pp. 184, 188, and 198-99; and the numerous explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 483-85.
