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 26:43

Context
26:43 The land will be abandoned by them 7  in order that it may make up for 8  its Sabbaths while it is made desolate 9  without them, 10  and they will make up for their iniquity because 11  they have rejected my regulations and have abhorred 12  my statutes.

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 tn Heb “from them.” The preposition “from” refers here to the agent of the action (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 455).

8 tn The jussive form of the verb with the simple vav (ו) here calls for a translation that expresses purpose.

9 tn The verb is the Hophal infinitive construct with the third feminine singular suffix (GKC 182 §67.y; cf. v. 34).

10 tn Heb “from them.”

11 tn Heb “because and in because,” a double expression, which is used only here and in Ezek 13:10 (without the vav) for emphasis (GKC 492 §158.b).

12 tn Heb “and their soul has abhorred.”
