1 tn The words “This is” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied due to requirements of English style.
2 tn Heb “for your generations”; NAB “for your descendants”; NLT “for you and all your descendants.”
3 tn Heb “all fat and all blood you must not eat.”
4 tn Heb “consecrated, devoted, forbidden” (נָזִיר, nazir). The same term is used for the “consecration” of the “Nazirite” (and his hair, Num 6:2, 18, etc.), a designation which, in turn, derives from the very same root.
