Leviticus 23:3

The Weekly Sabbath

23:3 “‘Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, ⁴  a holy assembly. You must not do any work; it is a Sabbath to the Lord in all the places where you live.

Leviticus 16:29

Review of the Day of Atonement

16:29 “This is to be a perpetual statute for you. ¹²  In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you must humble yourselves ¹³  and do no work of any kind, ¹⁴  both the native citizen and the foreigner who resides ¹⁵  in your midst,

[7:24]  ¹ tn Heb “carcass,” referring to the carcass of an animal that has died on its own, not the carcass of an animal slaughtered for sacrifice or killed by wild beasts. This has been clarified in the translation by supplying the phrase “of natural causes”; cf. NAB, TEV “that has died a natural death.”

[7:24]  ² tn Heb “shall be used for any work”; cf. NIV, NLT “may be used for any other purpose.”

[23:31]  ³ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[23:3]  ⁵ tn This is a superlative expression, emphasizing the full and all inclusive rest of the Sabbath and certain festival times throughout the chapter (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 155). Cf. ASV “a sabbath of solemn rest.”

[23:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the bone of this day.”

[23:28]  ⁸ tn Heb “on you [plural]”; cf. NASB, NRSV “on your behalf.”

[23:30]  ⁹ tn Heb “And any person.”

[23:30]  ¹⁰ tn See HALOT 3 s.v. I אבד hif. Cf. KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “destroy”; CEV “wipe out.”

[23:30]  ¹¹ tn Heb “its people” (“its” is feminine to agree with “person,” literally “soul,” which is feminine in Hebrew; cf. v. 29).

[11:32]  ¹¹ tn Heb “And all which it shall fall on it from them.”

[11:32]  ¹² tn Heb “in water it shall be brought.”

[16:29]  ¹³ tn Heb “And it [feminine] shall be for you a perpetual statute.” Verse 34 begins with the same clause except for the missing demonstrative pronoun “this” here in v. 29. The LXX has “this” in both places and it suits the sense of the passage, although both the verb and the pronoun are sometimes missing in this clause elsewhere in the book (see, e.g., Lev 3:17).

[16:29]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “you shall humble your souls.” The verb “to humble” here refers to various forms of self-denial, including but not limited to fasting (cf. Ps 35:13 and Isa 58:3, 10). The Mishnah (m. Yoma 8:1) lists abstentions from food and drink, bathing, using oil as an unguent to moisten the skin, wearing leather sandals, and sexual intercourse (cf. 2 Sam 12:16-17, 20; see the remarks in J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:1054; B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 109; and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 242).

[16:29]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and all work you shall not do.”

[16:29]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the native and the sojourner who sojourns.”
