Leviticus 21:5

1 tn Heb “And in your harvesting the harvest.”
2 tn Heb “you shall not complete the corner of your field to harvest.”
3 tn Heb “they”; the referent (priests, see the beginning of v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “and in their body they shall not [cut] slash[es]” (cf. Lev 19:28). The context connects these sorts of mutilations with mourning rites (cf. Lev 19:27-28 above).
