Leviticus 23:4

The Festival of Passover and Unleavened Bread

23:4 “‘These are the Lord’s appointed times, holy assemblies, which you must proclaim at their appointed time.

Leviticus 24:12

24:12 So they placed him in custody until they were able to make a clear legal decision for themselves based on words from the mouth of the Lord.


tn The words “until they were able” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

tn The Hebrew here is awkward. A literal reading would be something like the following: “And they placed him in custody to give a clear decision [HALOT 976 s.v. פרשׁ qal] for themselves on the mouth of the Lord.” In any case, they were apparently waiting for a direct word from the Lord regarding this matter (see vv. 13ff).
