[27:29]  ¹ tn Heb “permanently dedicated from among men.”

[27:28]  ² tn Heb “Surely, any permanently dedicated [thing] which a man shall permanently dedicate to the Lord.” The Hebrew term חֵרֶם (kherem) refers to things that are devoted permanently to the Lord (see the note on v. 21 above).

[10:2]  ³ tn See the note on 9:24a.

[20:15]  ⁴ tn See the note on Lev 18:20 above.

[23:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “And any person.”

[23:30]  ⁶ tn See HALOT 3 s.v. I אבד hif. Cf. KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “destroy”; CEV “wipe out.”

[23:30]  ⁷ tn Heb “its people” (“its” is feminine to agree with “person,” literally “soul,” which is feminine in Hebrew; cf. v. 29).

[26:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “And I will give your cities a waste”; NLT “make your cities desolate.”

[14:44]  ⁷ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “If he sees that the mark has indeed spread.”

[26:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “the animal of the field.” This collective singular has been translated as a plural. The expression “animal of the field” refers to a wild (i.e., nondomesticated) animal.

[26:22]  ⁹ tn The words “of your children” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[26:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and diminish you.”

[26:30]  ⁹ sn Regarding these cultic installations, see the remarks in B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 188, and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:903. The term rendered “incense altars” might better be rendered “sanctuaries [of foreign deities]” or “stelae.”

[26:30]  ¹⁰ tn The translation reflects the Hebrew wordplay “your corpses…the corpses of your idols.” Since idols, being lifeless, do not really have “corpses,” the translation uses “dead bodies” for people and “lifeless bodies” for the idols.

[26:30]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and my soul will abhor you.”

[27:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).

[27:21]  ¹¹ 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.

[27:21]  ¹² tn Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”

[13:51]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to all which the leather was made into a handiwork.”
