Discovery Box| (0.43) | (Num 10:6) | 2 tn The Hebrew text has “they shall blow an alarm”; the sentence without a formal subject should be taken as a passive idea. |
| (0.43) | (Num 6:2) | 1 tn The formula is used here again: “a man or a woman—when he takes.” The vow is open to both men and women. |
| (0.43) | (Num 3:36) | 1 tn Heb “and all their service.” This could possibly be a hendiadys: “and all their working tools.” However, the parallel with v. 26 suggests this is a separate phrase. |
| (0.43) | (Num 1:47) | 1 tn The vav (ו) on this word indicates a disjunction with the previous sequence of reports. It may be taken as a contrastive clause, translated “but” or “however.” |
| (0.43) | (Lev 25:39) | 1 tn Heb “you shall not serve against him service of a slave.” A distinction is being made here between the status of slave and indentured servant. |
| (0.43) | (Lev 25:16) | 3 tn Heb “a number of produce”; the words “years of” are implied. As an alternative this could be translated “a number of harvests” (cf. NRSV, NLT). |
| (0.43) | (Lev 23:37) | 2 tn Heb “a matter of a day in its day”; NAB “as prescribed for each day”; NRSV, NLT “each on its proper day.” |
| (0.43) | (Lev 22:4) | 4 tn Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on Lev 19:28. |
| (0.43) | (Lev 22:5) | 2 tn The Hebrew term for “person” here is אָדָם (ʾadam, “human being”), which could be either a male or a female person. |
| (0.43) | (Lev 21:7) | 2 sn For a helpful discussion of divorce in general and as it relates to this passage see B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 143-44. |
| (0.43) | (Lev 19:24) | 1 tn See B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 132, where the translation reads “set aside for jubilation”; a special celebration before the Lord. |
| (0.43) | (Lev 19:19) | 3 sn Cf. Deut 22:11 where the Hebrew term translated “two different kinds” (כִּלְאַיִם, kilʾayim) refers to a mixture of linen and wool woven together in a garment. |
| (0.43) | (Lev 10:9) | 1 tn Heb “a perpetual statute for your generations”; NAB “a perpetual ordinance”; NRSV “a statute forever”; NLT “a permanent law.” The Hebrew grammar here suggests that the last portion of v. 9 functions as both a conclusion to v. 9 and an introduction to vv. 10-11. It is a pivot clause, as it were. Thus, it was a “perpetual statute” to not drink alcoholic beverages when ministering in the tabernacle, but it was also a “perpetual statue” to distinguish between holy and profane and unclean and clean (v. 10) as well as to teach the children of Israel all such statutes (v. 11). |
| (0.43) | (Lev 6:20) | 1 sn A tenth of an ephah is about 2.3 liters, one day’s ration for a single person (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:306). |
| (0.43) | (Lev 5:1) | 4 tn Heb “and hears a voice of curse, and he is a witness or he saw or he knew, if he does not declare.” |
| (0.43) | (Lev 4:28) | 2 tn Lev 4:27b-28a is essentially the same as 4:22b-23a (see the notes there). |
| (0.43) | (Lev 4:24) | 1 tn The LXX has a plural form here and also for the same verb later in the verse. See the note on Lev 1:5a. |
| (0.43) | (Lev 4:12) | 3 tn Heb “a clean place,” but referring to a place that is ceremonially clean. This has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.43) | (Exo 35:23) | 1 tn The text uses a relative clause with a resumptive pronoun for this: “who was found with him,” meaning “with whom was found.” |
| (0.43) | (Exo 34:15) | 1 tn The sentence begins simply “lest you make a covenant”; it is undoubtedly a continuation of the imperative introduced earlier, and so that is supplied here. |
