¹ tn Heb “a man’s clothing.”

² tn The Hebrew term תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “offense”) speaks of anything that runs counter to ritual or moral order, especially (in the OT) to divine standards. Cross-dressing in this covenant context may suggest homosexuality, fertility cult ritual, or some other forbidden practice.

³ tc The LXX adds σφόδρα (sfodra, “very”) to bring the description into line with v. 54.

⁴ tn Heb “delicateness and tenderness.”
