¹ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord your God.” To include “the mouth” would make for odd English style. The mouth stands by metonymy for the Lord’s command, which in turn represents the Lord himself.

² tn Heb “from the gods.” The demonstrative pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

³ tn Heb “evil.” The context makes clear that this is a matter of ritual impurity, not moral impurity, so it is “evil” in the sense that it disbars one from certain religious activity.

⁴ tn Heb “his house.”

⁵ sn Come in…go out. To “come in” and “go out” is a figure of speech (merism) indicating all of life and its activities.

⁶ sn See note on the similar expression in v. 6.
