SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–27: Tenth lesson: Here is an example of a young man who was seduced by a married woman

This lesson is another warning to avoid adultery. It begins with an appeal that the son pay attention to his father’s advice. This advice will protect him from being seduced by an adulteress (7:1–5). The main part of the lesson has the form of a first person narrative. The narrator tells how he observed a young man being seduced (7:6–23). First the story focuses on the young man (7:6–9), then it describes the adulteress (7:10–12) and her enticing words (7:13–20). Finally it tells how the young man yielded to the temptation (7:21–23). The lesson concludes with an appeal that the son follow his father’s advice rather than be seduced by the adulteress, because involvement with her will lead to death (7:24–27).

Some other headings for this section are:

Warning Against the Adulteress (NIV)

The story about an adulteress who tempted a young man

Paragraph 7:13–20

This paragraph tells how the woman seduced the young man. After first kissing him (7:13), she then used words in order to seduce him. She told about the favorable circumstances (7:14), used flattery (7:15), appealed to his anticipation of physical pleasure (7:16–18), and reassured him of her husband’s absence (7:19–20).

7:14a–b

(combined/reordered)

I have made my peace offerings; today I have paid my vows: The meaning of this verse is that the woman had made a vow to the LORD that required her to sacrifice a fellowship offering. She had just done this.

According to Leviticus 7:11–17, her share of the meat from this offering had to be eaten by the next day. So her words implied to the young man that she wanted him to eat the meat with her. A woman was not allowed to eat meat from a sacrifice unless she was ceremonially clean. By inviting the man to eat with her, she also implied that she had finished her monthly period and was ready to have sex.Fox (page 246) and Ross (page 941) both bring out this implication.

my peace offerings…my vows: The phrase translated as my vows refers to promises that the woman had made to the LORD that she would do or not do something. In this case, she had evidently promised that she would sacrifice to the LORD peace offerings.Whybray (page 114) and UBS (page 166) understand this to be the relationship between the vow and the offering. Other scholars do not comment on the nature or content of the vow. This relationship between the offering and the vow may be expressed as follows:

Today I offered a fellowship sacrifice to fulfill my vows.

Today I fulfilled my promises to the LORD by sacrificing a fellowship offering.

Notice that these examples reorder some of the information in 7:14a–b.

Some English versions omit the clause about the woman’s vows, but this is not recommended. It is very effective irony for the woman to say that she has kept her promise to the LORD, while at the same time, she is trying to break the LORD’s commandment against adultery.

7:14a

“I have made my peace offerings;

I have made my peace offerings: The phrase peace offerings is a figure of speech (synecdoche) that refers to the woman’s share of the meat from the offering. The NCV expresses this as:

I made my fellowship offering and took some of the meat home. (NCV)

my peace offerings: A peace offering or “fellowship offering” (NIV) was the only sacrifice of which the offerers could eat some of the meat. They ate it with other people to symbolize both their fellowship with each other and their close relationship with the LORD.

In some languages, a translation of “fellowship offering” may require a fairly long phrase, such as “sacrifice that the people ate together to show their mutual companionship with the LORD.” If this is difficult to fit naturally into the story, an alternative is to not specify the type of sacrifice in the text. For example:

I had to offer sacrifices (NRSV)

I have some sacrificial meat (GW)

You can then add a footnote that gives the specific name of the sacrifice and helps your readers understand the more important details.

A suggested footnote is:

This was a sacrifice that people ate together to show their companionship with each other and with the LORD. See Leviticus 7:11–17. The woman implied that she wanted the young man to eat the meat with her. Women were forbidden to eat meat that had been sacrificed unless they were ceremonially clean. So when she invited the man to eat with her, she may also have implied that she was ready to sleep with him.

7:14b

today I have paid my vows.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

זִבְחֵ֣י שְׁלָמִ֣ים עָלָ֑⁠י

sacrifices_of peace_offerings [are]_on,me

The woman implies that she has meat to eat at her home because someone who made peace offerings was allowed to keep some of the meat that was offered to Yahweh in the temple (see [Leviticus 7:11–17](../lev/07/11.md) and [1 Samuel 9:11–13](../1sa/09/11.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I have leftover meat from the sacrifices of peace offerings I made to Yahweh in the temple”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ֝⁠יּ֗וֹם שִׁלַּ֥מְתִּי נְדָרָֽ⁠י

the=day paid vows_of,my

Here, vows refers to the sacrifices of peace offerings that the woman promised to sacrifice to God. According to [Leviticus 7:16](../lev/07/16.md), the woman would have to eat the meat leftover from paying her vows by the end of the next day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “today I made the sacrifices I promised to give to God”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:14 The immoral woman’s observance of religious ritual makes her look good on the surface, but her immoral behavior reveals a corrupt heart.
