¹ tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of his eyes, throw away.” The Pentateuch does not refer to the Israelites worshiping idols in Egypt, but Josh 24:14 appears to suggest that they did so.

² sn For a historical illustration of the priest carrying out this function, see 2 Chr 19:9-11.

³ tn Heb “sanctify, set apart.”
