[3:17] 1 tn The words “This is” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied due to requirements of English style.
[3:17] 2 tn Heb “for your generations”; NAB “for your descendants”; NLT “for you and all your descendants.”
[3:17] 3 tn Heb “all fat and all blood you must not eat.”
[16:31] 4 tn See the note on v. 29 above.
[16:31] 5 tn Compare v. 29a above.
[20:8] 7 tn Heb “And you shall keep my statutes and you shall do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 22:31, etc.).
