16:5 You may not sacrifice the Passover in just any of your villages 3 that the Lord your God is giving you,

1 tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.
3 tn Heb “gates.”
4 tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.
5 tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”
6 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.
