Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 20:6 sn For structure and coherence in Lev 20:6-27 see the note on v. 27 below.
  2. Leviticus 20:6 tn See the note on the phrase “familiar spirits” in Lev 19:31 above.
  3. Leviticus 20:6 tn Heb “I will give my faces.”
  4. Leviticus 20:8 tn Heb “And you shall keep my statutes and you shall do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 22:31, etc.).
