The Consequences of Disobedience

26:14 “‘If, however, ¹⁰  you do not obey me and keep ¹¹  all these commandments –

[9:6]  ¹ tn Heb “which the Lord commanded you shall/should do.”

[9:6]  ² tn Heb “and the glory of the Lord will appear,” but the construction with the simple vav (ו) plus the imperfect/jussive (וְיֵרָא, vÿyera’; literally, “and he will appear”) suggests purpose in this context, not just succession of events (i.e., “so that he might appear”).

[18:4]  ³ tn Heb “My regulations you shall do”; KJV, NASB “my judgments”; NRSV “My ordinances”; NIV, TEV “my laws.”

[18:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “and my statutes you shall keep [or “watch; guard”] to walk in them.”

[19:4]  ⁵ sn Regarding the difficult etymology and meaning of the term for “idols” (אֱלִילִים, ’elilim), see B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 126; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 304; N. H. Snaith, Leviticus and Numbers (NBC), 89; and Judith M. Hadley, NIDOTTE 1:411. It appears to be a diminutive play on words with אֵל (’el, “god; God”) and, perhaps at the same time, recalls a common Semitic word for “worthless; weak; powerless; nothingness.” Snaith suggests a rendering of “worthless godlings.”

[22:24]  ⁷ sn Compare Lev 21:20b.

[23:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “work of service”; KJV “servile work”; NASB “laborious work”; TEV “daily work.”

[23:31]  ¹¹ tn Heb “for your generations.”

[23:35]  ¹³ tn Heb “work of service”; KJV “servile work”; NASB “laborious work”; TEV “daily work.”

[26:14]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And if.”

[26:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and do not do.”
