tn Heb “which I am giving” (so NAB, NIV).

tn Heb “give.”

tn Heb “in the house of the land of your possession” (KJV and ASV both similar).

tn Heb “to not do from the statutes of the detestable acts.”

tn Heb “and you will not.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

tn Heb “And in your harvesting the harvest.”

tn Heb “you shall not complete the corner of your field to harvest.”

tn Heb “And you shall not deal severely with your vineyard.”

tn Heb “tree of food”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV “trees for food.”

10 tn Heb “you shall circumcise its fruit [as] its foreskin,” taking the fruit to be that which is to be removed and, therefore, forbidden. Since the fruit is uncircumcised it is forbidden (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 306, and esp. B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 131-32).

11 tn Heb “it shall be to you uncircumcised.”

12 tn Heb “And you shall keep all my statutes and all my regulations and you shall do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 22:31, etc.).

13 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

14 tn Heb “until the bone of this day.”

15 tn Heb “for your generations.”

16 tn Heb “you shall rest your Sabbath.”

17 tn Heb “To the mouth of the many years.”

18 tn Heb “to the mouth of the few years.”

19 tn Heb “a number of produce”; the words “years of” are implied. As an alternative this could be translated “a number of harvests” (cf. NRSV, NLT).

20 tn Heb “the produce,” referring to “the produce” of the sixth year of v. 21. The words “sixth year” are supplied for clarity.

21 tn Heb “until the ninth year, until bringing [in] its produce.”

22 tn The word “slaves” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied here.

23 tn Heb “family which is” (i.e., singular rather than plural).

24 tn Heb “and your brothers, the sons of Israel, a man in his brother you shall not rule in him in violence.”
