Leviticus 19:9

Leaving the Gleanings

19:9 “‘When you gather in the harvest 1  of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, 2  and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest.

Leviticus 21:5

21:5 Priests 3  must not have a bald spot shaved on their head, they must not shave the corner of their beard, and they must not cut slashes in their body. 4 

1 tn Heb “And in your harvesting the harvest.”

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

3 tn Heb “they”; the referent (priests, see the beginning of v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “and in their body they shall not [cut] slash[es]” (cf. Lev 19:28). The context connects these sorts of mutilations with mourning rites (cf. Lev 19:27-28 above).
