Leviticus 21:21

Context
21:21 No man from the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a physical flaw may step forward 1  to present the Lord’s gifts; he has a physical flaw, so he must not step forward to present the food of his God.

Leviticus 23:36

Context
23:36 For seven days you must present a gift to the Lord. On the eighth day there is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must present a gift to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly day; 2  you must not do any regular work.

1 tn Or “shall approach” (see HALOT 670 s.v. נגשׁ).

2 tn The Hebrew term עֲצֶרֶת (’atseret) “solemn assembly [day]” derives from a root associated with restraint or closure. It could refer either to the last day as “closing assembly” day of the festival (e.g., NIV) or a special day of restraint expressed in a “solemn assembly” (e.g., NRSV); cf. NLT “a solemn closing assembly.”
