[7:36]  ¹ tn Heb “the day he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:36]  ² tn Heb “which the Lord commanded to give to them in the day he anointed them from the children of Israel.” Thus v. 36 is tied syntactically to v. 35 (see the note there).

[7:36]  ³ tn Heb “for your generations”; cf. NIV “for the generations to come”; TEV “for all time to come.”

[10:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “a perpetual statute for your generations”; NAB “a perpetual ordinance”; NRSV “a statute forever”; NLT “a permanent law.” The Hebrew grammar here suggests that the last portion of v. 9 functions as both a conclusion to v. 9 and an introduction to vv. 10-11. It is a pivot clause, as it were. Thus, it was a “perpetual statute” to not drink alcoholic beverages when ministering in the tabernacle, but it was also a “perpetual statue” to distinguish between holy and profane and unclean and clean (v. 10) as well as to teach the children of Israel all such statutes (v. 11).

[17:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “sacrifice.” This has been translated as “offer” for stylistic reasons to avoid the redundancy of “sacrifice their sacrifices.”

[17:7]  ⁸ tn On “goat demons” of the desert regions see the note on Lev 16:8.

[17:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “which they are committing harlotry after them.”

[17:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[18:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “And you shall keep.”

[18:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “which the man shall do them and shall live in them.” The term for “a man, human being; mankind” (אָדָם, ’adam; see the note on Lev 1:2) in this case refers to any person among “mankind,” male or female. The expression וָחַי (vakhay, “and shall live”) looks like the adjective “living” so it is written וְחָיָה (vÿkhayah) in Smr, but the MT form is simply the same verb written as a double ayin verb (see HALOT 309 s.v. חיה qal and GKC 218 §76.i; cf. Lev 25:35).

[18:26]  ¹³ tn Heb “And you shall keep, you.” The latter emphatic personal pronoun “you” is left out of a few medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate.

[18:26]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the native and the sojourner”; NIV “The native-born and the aliens”; NAB “whether natives or resident aliens.”

[18:30]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to not do from the statutes of the detestable acts.”

[18:30]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and you will not.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[19:19]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Your animals, you shall not cross-breed two different kinds.”

[19:19]  ²⁰ tn Heb “you shall not cause to go up on you.”

[19:19]  ²¹ sn Cf. Deut 22:11 where the Hebrew term translated “two different kinds” (כִּלְאַיִם, kil’ayim) refers to a mixture of linen and wool woven together in a garment.

[20:23]  ²² tc One medieval Hebrew ms, Smr, and all the major ancient versions have the plural “nations.” Some English versions retain the singular (e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV); others have the plural “nations” (e.g., NAB, NIV) and still others translate as “people” (e.g., TEV, NLT).

[23:21]  ²⁵ 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]  ²⁶ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[23:41]  ²⁸ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[24:3]  ³¹ tn The Hebrew term פָּרֹכֶת (parokhet) is usually translated “veil” or “curtain,” but it seems to have stretched not only in front of but also over the top of the ark of the covenant which stood behind and under it inside the most holy place (see R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 3:687-89).

[24:3]  ³² tc Several medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, and the LXX add “and his sons.”

[24:3]  ³³ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[26:15]  ³⁴ tn Heb “to not do.”
