Leviticus 18:5

18:5 So you must keep ¹  my statutes and my regulations; anyone who does so will live by keeping them. ²  I am the Lord.

Leviticus 25:51-52

25:51 If there are still many years, in keeping with them ³  he must refund most of the cost of his purchase for his redemption, 25:52 but if only a few years remain ⁴  until the jubilee, he must calculate for himself in keeping with the remaining years and refund it for his redemption.

¹ tn Heb “And you shall keep.”

² tn Heb “which the man shall do them and shall live in them.” The term for “a man, human being; mankind” (אָדָם, ’adam; see the note on Lev 1:2) in this case refers to any person among “mankind,” male or female. The expression וָחַי (vakhay, “and shall live”) looks like the adjective “living” so it is written וְחָיָה (vÿkhayah) in Smr, but the MT form is simply the same verb written as a double ayin verb (see HALOT 309 s.v. חיה qal and GKC 218 §76.i; cf. Lev 25:35).

³ tn Heb “to the mouth of them.”

⁴ tn Heb “but if a little remains in the years.”
