Discovery BoxLeviticus 11:42 
Context11:42 You must not eat anything that crawls 1 on its belly or anything that walks on all fours or on any number of legs 2 of all the swarming things that swarm on the land, because they are detestable.
Leviticus 25:15-16
Context25:15 You may buy it from your fellow citizen according to the number of years since 3 the last jubilee; he may sell it to you according to the years of produce that are left. 4 25:16 The more years there are, 5 the more you may make its purchase price, and the fewer years there are, 6 the less you must make its purchase price, because he is only selling to you a number of years of 7 produce.
1 tn Heb “goes” (KJV, ASV “goeth”); NIV “moves about”; NLT “slither along.” The same Hebrew term is translated “walks” in the following clause.
2 tn Heb “until all multiplying of legs.”
3 tn Heb “in the number of years after.”
4 tn The words “that are left” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
sn The purchaser is actually buying only the crops that the land will produce until the next jubilee, since the land will revert to the original owner at that time. The purchaser, therefore, is not actually buying the land itself.
5 tn Heb “To the mouth of the many years.”
6 tn Heb “to the mouth of the few years.”
7 tn Heb “a number of produce”; the words “years of” are implied. As an alternative this could be translated “a number of harvests” (cf. NRSV, NLT).
