1 tn Heb “all which have fin and scale” (see also vv. 10 and 12).

2 tn Heb “in the water, in the seas and in the streams” (see also vv. 10 and 12).

3 tn The adjective “spiritual” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that this is not a reference to literal prostitution, but figuratively compares idolatry to prostitution.

4 tn Heb “to commit harlotry after Molech.” The translation employs “worshiping” here for clarity (cf. NAB, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT). On the “cut off” penalty see the note on Lev 7:20.

5 sn See the note on Lev 18:7 above.

6 tn See the note on v. 9 above.

7 tn The Hebrew term תֶּבֶל (tevel, “perversion”) derives from the verb “to mix; to confuse” (cf. KJV, ASV “they have wrought confusion”).
