Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 14:20 tn Heb “cause to go up.”
  2. Leviticus 14:21 tn Heb “and his hand does not reach”; NAB, NRSV “and cannot afford so much (afford these NIV).”
  3. Leviticus 14:21 tn See the notes on v. 10 above.
  4. Leviticus 14:22 tn Heb “from the sons of the pigeon,” referring either to “young pigeons” or “various species of pigeon” (contrast J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:168 with J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 14; cf. Lev 1:14 and esp. 5:7-10).
  5. Leviticus 14:22 tn Heb “which his hand reaches”; NRSV “such as (which NIV) he can afford.”
  6. Leviticus 14:22 tn Heb “and one shall be a sin offering and the one a burnt offering.” The versions struggle with whether or not “one” should or should not have the definite article in its two occurrences in this verse (KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB all have the English definite article with both). The MT has the first without and the second with the article.
