Leviticus 19:13

Context
19:13 You must not oppress your neighbor or commit robbery against him. 1  You must not withhold 2  the wages of the hired laborer overnight until morning.

Leviticus 22:10

Context

22:10 “‘No lay person 3  may eat anything holy. Neither a priest’s lodger 4  nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy,

1 tn Heb “You shall not oppress your neighbor and you shall not rob.”

2 tn Heb “hold back with you”; perhaps “hold back for yourself” (cf. NRSV “keep for yourself”).

3 tn Heb “No stranger” (so KJV, ASV), which refers here to anyone other than the Aaronic priests. Some English versions reverse the negation and state positively: NIV “No one outside a priest’s family”; NRSV “Only a member of a priestly family”; CEV “Only you priests and your families.”

4 tn Heb “A resident [תּוֹשָׁב (toshav) from יָשַׁב (yashav, “to dwell, to reside”)] of a priest.” The meaning of the term is uncertain. It could refer to a “guest” (NIV) or perhaps “bound servant” (NRSV; see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 149). In the translation “lodger” was used instead of “boarder” precisely because a boarder would be provided meals with his lodging, the very issue at stake here.
