Leviticus 21:14-15

Context
21:14 He must not marry 1  a widow, a divorced woman, or one profaned by prostitution; he may only take a virgin from his people 2  as a wife. 21:15 He must not profane his children among his people, 3  for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.’”

1 tn Heb “take.” In context this means “take as wife,” i.e., “marry.”

2 tc The MT has literally, “from his peoples,” but Smr, LXX, Syriac, Targum, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “from his people,” referring to the Israelites as a whole.

3 tc The MT has literally, “in his peoples,” but Smr, LXX, Syriac, Targum, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “in his people,” referring to the Israelites as a whole.
