Leviticus 21:15

21:15 He must not profane his children among his people, ²  for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.’”

Leviticus 21:23

21:23 but he must not go into the veil-canopy ³  or step forward to the altar because he has a physical flaw. Thus ⁴  he must not profane my holy places, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”

¹ tn The three previous second person references in this verse are all singular, but this reference is plural. By adding “all” this grammatical distinction is preserved in the translation.

² tc The MT has literally, “in his peoples,” but Smr, LXX, Syriac, Targum, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “in his people,” referring to the Israelites as a whole.

³ sn See the note on Lev 16:2 for the rendering “veil-canopy.”

⁴ tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
