Leviticus 18:3

Context
18:3 You must not do as they do in the land of Egypt where you have been living, 1  and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan into which I am about to bring you; 2  you must not 3  walk in their statutes.

Leviticus 19:19

Context
19:19 You must keep my statutes. You must not allow two different kinds of your animals to breed, 4  you must not sow your field with two different kinds of seed, and you must not wear 5  a garment made of two different kinds of fabric. 6 

Leviticus 26:1

Context
Exhortation to Obedience

26:1 “‘You must not make for yourselves idols, 7  so you must not set up for yourselves a carved image or a pillar, and you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down before 8  it, for I am the Lord your God.

1 tn Heb “As the work [or “deed”] of the land of Egypt, which you were dwelling in it, you must not do.”

2 tn Heb “and as the work [or “deed”] of the land of Canaan which I am bringing you to there, you must not do.” The participle “I am bringing” is inceptive; the Lord is “about to” bring them into the land of Canaan, as opposed to their having dwelt previously in the land of Egypt (see the first part of the verse).

3 tn Heb “and you shall not walk.”

4 tn Heb “Your animals, you shall not cross-breed two different kinds.”

5 tn Heb “you shall not cause to go up on you.”

6 sn Cf. Deut 22:11 where the Hebrew term translated “two different kinds” (כִּלְאַיִם, kilayim) refers to a mixture of linen and wool woven together in a garment.

7 sn For the literature regarding the difficult etymology and meaning of the term for “idols” (אֱלִילִם, ’elilim), see the literature cited in the note on Lev 19:4. It appears to be a diminutive play on words with אֵל (’el, “god, God”) and, perhaps at the same time, recalls a common Semitic word for “worthless, weak, powerless, nothingness.” Snaith suggests a rendering of “worthless godlings.”

8 tn Heb “on.” The “sculpted stone” appears to be some sort of stone with images carved into (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 181, and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 449).
