¹ tn The translation of this whole section of the clause is difficult. Theoretically, it could describe one, two, or three different ways of preparing first ripe grain offerings (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 27). The translation here takes it as a description of only one kind of prepared grain. This is suggested by the fact that v. 16 uses only one term “crushed bits” (גֶּרֶשׂ, geres) to refer back to the grain as it is prepared in v. 14 (a more technical translation is “groats”; see J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:178, 194). Cf. NAB “fresh grits of new ears of grain”; NRSV “coarse new grain from fresh ears.”

² tn Heb “to be to you for a God.”

³ tn Heb “And you shall not swear to the falsehood.”

⁴ tn Heb “and you shall not profane”; NAB “thus profaning.”

⁵ tn Heb “You shall not curse a deaf [person] and before a blind [person] you shall not put a stumbling block.”

⁶ tn Heb “And you shall fear.” Many English versions (e.g., KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV) regard the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) as adversative in force here (“but”).

⁷ sn Compare Lev 21:20b.
