² tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

⁴ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

⁵ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

⁷ tn Heb “that you not place bloodshed in your house.”
