Leviticus 23:8

23:8 You must present a gift to the Lord for seven days, and the seventh day is a holy assembly; you must not do any regular work.’”

Leviticus 23:21

23:21 “‘On this very day you must proclaim an assembly; it is to be a holy assembly for you. ²  You must not do any regular work. This is a perpetual statute in all the places where you live throughout your generations. ³

23:24 “Tell the Israelites, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a complete rest, a memorial announced by loud horn blasts, ⁴  a holy assembly.

Leviticus 23:27

23:27 “The ⁵  tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. ⁶  It is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must humble yourselves ⁷  and present a gift to the Lord.

[23:2]  ¹ tn Heb “these are them, my appointed times.”

[23:21]  ² tn Heb “And you shall proclaim [an assembly] in the bone of this day; a holy assembly it shall be to you” (see the remarks in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 160, and the remarks on the LXX rendering in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 367).

[23:21]  ³ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[23:24]  ³ tn Heb “a memorial of loud blasts.” Although the term for “horn” does not occur here, allowing for the possibility that vocal “shouts” of acclamation are envisioned (see P. J. Budd, Leviticus [NCBC], 325), the “blast” of the shofar (a trumpet made from a ram’s “horn”) is most likely what is intended. On this occasion, the loud blasts on the horn announced the coming of the new year on the first day of the seventh month (see the explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 387, and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 160).

[23:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “Surely the tenth day” or perhaps “Precisely the tenth day.” The Hebrew adverbial particle אַךְ (’akh) is left untranslated by most recent English versions; cf. however NASB “On exactly the tenth day.”

[23:27]  ⁵ sn See the description of this day and its regulations in Lev 16 and the notes there.

[23:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “you shall humble your souls.” See the note on Lev 16:29 above.

[23:37]  ⁵ tn The LXX has “[their] burnt offerings, and their sacrifices, and their drink offerings.”

[23:37]  ⁶ tn Heb “a matter of a day in its day”; NAB “as prescribed for each day”; NRSV, NLT “each on its proper day.”
