tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) indicates the sequence of events here.

tn Heb “And he shall take.”

tn Heb “tree of food”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV “trees for food.”

tn Heb “you shall circumcise its fruit [as] its foreskin,” taking the fruit to be that which is to be removed and, therefore, forbidden. Since the fruit is uncircumcised it is forbidden (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 306, and esp. B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 131-32).

tn Heb “it shall be to you uncircumcised.”

sn See the note on v. 11 above.

tn Heb “Surely, any permanently dedicated [thing] which a man shall permanently dedicate to the Lord.” The Hebrew term חֵרֶם (kherem) refers to things that are devoted permanently to the Lord (see the note on v. 21 above).
