1 tn Heb “with [or “before”] the face of.”
2 tn Heb “to all Israel.”
3 tn Heb “lie with.”
4 tc The MT has a plural “you” here, but the LXX and a Qumran
5 tn Heb “which I commanded, dwelling place.” The noun is functioning as an adverbial accusative in relation to the verb. Since God’s dwelling place/sanctuary is in view, the pronoun “my” is supplied in the translation.
6 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.
7 tn Heb “walk about before.”
8 tn Heb “may it be far removed from me.”
