Leviticus 17:13

17:13 “‘Any man from the Israelites 1  or from the foreigners who reside 2  in their 3  midst who hunts a wild animal 4  or a bird that may be eaten 5  must pour out its blood and cover it with soil,

Leviticus 27:33

27:33 The owner 6  must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it, 7  both the original animal 8  and its substitute will be holy. 9  It must not be redeemed.’”

1 tc A few medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “from the house of Israel” as in vv. 3, 8, and 10, but the LXX agrees with the MT.

2 tn Heb “from the sojourner who sojourns.”

3 tc The LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, and certain mss of Smr have “your” (plural) rather than “their” (cf. v. 10 above).

4 tn Heb “[wild] game of animal.”

5 tn That is, it must be a clean animal, not an unclean animal (cf. Lev 11).

6 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the owner of the animal) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

7 tn Heb “And if exchanging [infinitive absolute] he exchanges it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

8 tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

9 tn Heb “it shall be and its substitute shall be holy.”
