Leviticus 19:28

Context
19:28 You must not slash your body for a dead person 1  or incise a tattoo on yourself. 2  I am the Lord.

1 tn Heb “And slash for the soul you shall not give.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “soul, person, life”) can sometimes refer to a “dead person” (cf. Lev 21:1, 5; 22:5). See J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 306, 320-21.

2 tn Heb “and a writing of incision you shall not give in you.”
