¹ tn Heb “The nakedness of the daughter of your father’s wife born of your father, she is your sister; you must not uncover her nakedness.” That is, a half sister, the daughter of the man’s father by another wife, who is not the man’s mother, is to be considered a true sister. Therefore, the man must not have sexual intercourse with her.

² tn See the note on v. 20 above.

³ tn Heb “to copulate with it” (cf. Lev 20:16).

⁴ tn The Hebrew term תֶּבֶל (tevel, “perversion”) derives from the verb “to mix; to confuse” and therefore refers to illegitimate mixtures of species or violation of the natural order of things.

⁵ tn Heb “And the houses of the villages.”

⁶ tn Heb “which there is not to them a wall.”

⁷ tn Heb “on the field.”
