1 tc Smr has the singular rather than the plural “you” of the MT, which brings this verb form into line with the ones surrounding it.
2 tn Heb “You shall not do injustice in judgment” (NASB similar); cf. NIV “do not pervert justice.”
3 tn Heb “You shall not lift up faces of poor [people] and you shall not honor faces of great.”
4 tn Heb “In righteousness you shall judge your fellow citizen.”
5 tn Heb “and you will not lift up on him sin.” The meaning of the line is somewhat obscure. It means either (1) that one should rebuke one’s neighbor when he sins lest one also becomes guilty, which is the way it is rendered here (see NIV, NRSV, NEB, JB; see also B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 129-30, and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 303, and the discussion on pp. 316-17), or (2) one may rebuke one’s neighbor without incurring sin just as long as he does not hate him in his heart (see the first part of the verse; cf. NASB, NAB).
6 tn Heb “gives a flaw in”; KJV, ASV “cause a blemish in.”
7 tn Or “neighbor” (so NAB, NASB, NIV); TEV, NLT “another person.”
8 tn Heb “And you shall not oppress a man his fellow citizen.”
