Leviticus 22:3

Context
22:3 Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, 1  if any man from all your descendants approaches the holy offerings which the Israelites consecrate 2  to the Lord while he is impure, 3  that person must be cut off from before me. 4  I am the Lord.

1 tn Heb “To your generations.”

2 tn The Piel (v. 2) and Hiphil (v. 3) forms of the verb קָדַשׁ (qadash) appear to be interchangeable in this context. Both mean “to consecrate” (Heb “make holy [or “sacred”]”).

3 tn Heb “and his impurity [is] on him”; NIV “is ceremonially unclean”; NAB, NRSV “while he is in a state of uncleanness.”

4 sn Regarding the “cut off” penalty, see the note on Lev 7:20. Cf. the interpretive translation of TEV “he can never again serve at the altar.”
