- Leviticus 18:5 tn Heb “And you shall keep.”
- Leviticus 18:5 tn Heb “which the man shall do them and shall live in them.” The term for “a man, human being; mankind” (אָדָם, ʾadam; see the note on Lev 1:2) in this case refers to any person among “mankind,” male or female. The expression וָחַי (vakhay, “and shall live”) looks like the adjective “living” so it is written וְחָיָה (vekhayah) in Smr, but the MT form is simply the same verb written as a double ʿayin verb (see HALOT 309 s.v. חיה qal and GKC 218 §76.i; cf. Lev 25:35).
