Leviticus 16:17

Context
16:17 Nobody is to be in the Meeting Tent 1  when he enters to make atonement in the holy place until he goes out, and he has made atonement on his behalf, on behalf of his household, and on behalf of the whole assembly of Israel.

Leviticus 18:9

Context
18:9 You must not have sexual intercourse with your sister, whether she is your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, 2  whether she is born in the same household or born outside it; 3  you must not have sexual intercourse with either of them. 4 

1 tn Heb “And all man shall not be in the tent of meeting.” The term for “a man, human being” (אָדָם, ’adam; see the note on Lev 1:2) refers to any person among “mankind,” male or female.

2 tn Heb “the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother.”

3 tn Heb “born of house or born of outside.” CEV interprets as “whether you grew up together or not” (cf. also TEV, NLT).

4 tc Several medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, and Syriac have “her nakedness” rather than “their nakedness,” thus agreeing with singular “sister” at the beginning of the verse.

tn For a smooth English translation “either of” was added.
