| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “they”; the referent (priests, see the beginning of v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 2 tn Heb “and in their body they shall not [cut] slash[es]” (cf. Lev 19:28). The context connects these sorts of mutilations with mourning rites (cf. Lev 19:27-28 above). |
