1 tn Heb “who to him the house.”

2 tn It is not clear to whom this refers. It is probably broader than “sibling” (cf. NRSV “any of your kin”; NLT “any of your Israelite relatives”) but some English versions take it to mean “fellow Israelite” (so TEV; cf. NAB, NIV “countrymen”) and others are ambiguous (cf. CEV “any of your people”).

3 tn Heb “and his hand slips with you.”

4 tn Heb “strengthen”; NASB “sustain.”

5 tn The form וָחַי (vakhay, “and shall live”) looks like the adjective “living,” but the MT form is simply the same verb written as a double ayin verb (see HALOT 309 s.v. חיה qal, and GKC 218 §76.i; cf. Lev 18:5).

6 tn Heb “a foreigner and resident,” which is probably to be combined (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 170-71).

7 tn Heb “be with him”; the referent (the one who bought him) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

8 tn Heb “As a hired worker year in year.”

9 tn Heb “He”; the referent (the one who bought him) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

10 tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).

11 tn Heb “like the field of the permanent dedication.” The Hebrew word חֵרֶם (kherem) is a much discussed term. In this and the following verses it refers in a general way to the fact that something is permanently devoted to the Lord and therefore cannot be redeemed (cf. v. 20b). See J. A. Naudé, NIDOTTE 2:276-77; N. Lohfink, TDOT 5:180-99, esp. pp. 184, 188, and 198-99; and the numerous explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 483-85.

12 tn Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”
