Footnotes

5. Leviticus 22:11 tn Heb “and the [slave] born of his house, they shall eat in his food.” The LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., Tg. Ps.-J., and some mss of Smr have plural “ones born,” which matches the following plural “they” pronoun and the plural form of the verb.
6. Leviticus 22:12 tn Heb “And a daughter of a priest, if she is to a man, a stranger” (cf. the note on v. 10 above).
7. Leviticus 22:12 tn Heb “she in the contribution of the holy offerings shall not eat.” For “contribution [offering]” see the note on Lev 7:14 and the literature cited there. Cf. NCV “the holy offerings”; TEV, NLT “the sacred offerings.”
8. Leviticus 22:13 tn Heb “to”; the words “live in” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.
9. Leviticus 22:13 tn Heb “and seed there is not to her and she returns to the house of her father as her youth.” The mention of having “no children” appears to imply that her children, if she had any, should support her; this is made explicit by NLT’s “and has no children to support her.”
