1 tn Heb “It must not be baked leavened” (cf. Lev 2:11). The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.
2 tn Heb “holiness of holinesses [or holy of holies] it is”; cf. NAB “most sacred.”
3 tn Again, Aaron probably performed the slaughter and collected the fat parts (v. 16a), but Moses presented it all on the altar (v. 16b; cf. the note on v. 15 above).
4 sn See Lev 3:3-4 for the terminology of fat and kidneys here.
5 tn Heb “toward the altar” (see the note on Lev 1:9).
8 tn See Lev 7:32-34.
9 tn Heb “toward the altar” (see the note on Lev 1:9).
10 sn This translation is quite literal. On the surface it appears to mean that the priests would “bear the iniquity” of the congregation by the act of eating the sin offering (so J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:622-25, 635-40). Such a notion is, however, found nowhere else in the Levitical regulations and seems unlikely (so J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 136). A more likely interpretation is reflected in this interpretive rendering: “he gave it to you [as payment] for [your work of] bearing the iniquity of the congregation.” The previous section of the chapter deals with the prebends that the priests received for performing the ministry of the tabernacle (Lev 10:12-15). Lev 10:16-18, therefore, seems to continue the very same topic in the light of the most immediate situation (see R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:702-4).
11 tn Heb “be unclean.”
12 tn Heb “and the priest shall see.”
13 tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).
14 tn Heb “he,” but the regulation applies to a man or a woman (v. 38a). In the translation “the person” is used to specify the referent more clearly.
15 tn Heb “And this shall be for you to a statute of eternity” (cf. v. 29a above). cf. NASB “a permanent statute”; NIV “a lasting ordinance.”
16 tn Heb “from”; see note on 4:26.
17 tn Heb “one [feminine] in the year.”
18 tn The MT of Lev 16:34b reads literally, “and he did just as the
19 tn Heb “Man, man.” The repetition of the word “man” is distributive, meaning “any [or “every”] man” (GKC 395-96 §123.c; cf. Lev 15:2).
20 tn Heb “and.” Here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has an alternative sense (“or”).
21 tn Heb “from the sojourner who sojourns.”
22 tc The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate have “your” (plural) rather than “their.”
23 tn Heb “causes to go up.”
24 tc A few medieval Hebrew
25 tn Heb “from the sojourner who sojourns.”
26 tc The LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, and certain
27 tn Heb “[wild] game of animal.”
28 tn That is, it must be a clean animal, not an unclean animal (cf. Lev 11).
29 tn Heb “And if shutting [infinitive absolute] they shut [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.
30 tn Heb “from that man” (so ASV); NASB “disregard that man.”
31 tn The adjective “spiritual” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that this is not a reference to literal prostitution, but figuratively compares idolatry to prostitution.
32 tn Heb “to commit harlotry after Molech.” The translation employs “worshiping” here for clarity (cf. NAB, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT). On the “cut off” penalty see the note on Lev 7:20.
33 sn See the note on Lev 18:7 above.
34 tn See the note on v. 9 above.
35 tn The Hebrew term תֶּבֶל (tevel, “perversion”) derives from the verb “to mix; to confuse” (cf. KJV, ASV “they have wrought confusion”).
36 tn Heb “[as the] lyings of a woman.” The specific reference here is to homosexual intercourse between males.
37 tn Heb “to copulate with it” (cf. Lev 20:16).
38 tn Heb “his flesh.”
39 tn See the note on Lev 17:16 above.
40 tc Smr, LXX, Syriac, and some Targum
41 tn See the note on the phrase “familiar spirit” in Lev 19:31 above.
42 tn This is not the most frequently-used Hebrew verb for stoning, but a word that refers to the action of throwing, slinging, or pelting someone with stones (see the note on v. 2 above). Smr and LXX have “you [plural] shall pelt them with stones.”
sn At first glance Lev 20:27 appears to be out of place but, on closer examination, one could argue that it constitutes the back side of an envelope around the case laws in 20:9-21, with Lev 20:6 forming the front of the envelope (note also that execution of mediums and spiritists by stoning in v. 27 is not explicitly stated in v. 6). This creates a chiastic structure: prohibition against mediums and spiritists (vv. 6 and 27), variations of the holiness formula (vv. 7 and 25-26), and exhortations to obey the
43 tn The words “to death” are supplied in the translation as a clarification; they are clearly implied from v. 16.
44 tn The word “slaves” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied here.
45 tn Heb “family which is” (i.e., singular rather than plural).
46 tn Heb “from being to them slaves.”
47 tn In other words, to walk as free people and not as slaves. Cf. NIV “with (+ your CEV, NLT) heads held high”; NCV “proudly.”
