1 sn See the note on Lev 16:2 for the rendering “veil-canopy.”
2 tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
3 tn Heb “and they will not lift up on it sin.” The pronoun “it” (masculine) apparently refers to any item of food that belongs to the category of “holy offerings” (see above).
4 tn Heb “and die in it.”
