KJB-1611 1 A repetition of sundry Lawes.
(1 A repetition of sundry Laws.)
This chapter contains various laws about how to live a holy life. The structure of this chapter is as follows: 1) Basic rules about holiness (19:1-8) 2) Laws about treating others fairly (19:9-18) 3) Various other laws (19:19-37) A. Laws about mixing things (19:19) B. Laws about sexual purity (19:20-22) C. Laws about food and worship (19:23-31) D. Laws about respecting others (19:32-37)
Many actions are written in passive form. Your language might need to say who does the action. For example:- “it shall be eaten” → “you must eat it”- “shall be burned” → “you must burn it”- “shall not be killed” → “you must not kill them”- “shall be forgiven” → “Yahweh will forgive”
The chapter uses several word pictures that might be hard to translate:- “Turn to idols” means “start worshiping idols”- “Hate in your heart” means “continue to hate”- “The land will practice prostitution” means “the people will become unfaithful”- “Carry his iniquity” means “be responsible for his sin”
The chapter mentions specific measurements that might need explanation:- “Ephah” - a measurement for dry things like grain- “Hin” - a measurement for liquidsYour language might need to use general terms like “measure” or explain these in a note.
Some commands use special ways to make them stronger:- “Not do injustice” means “always judge fairly”- “Keep and do” means the same thing, repeated for emphasis- “Poor and great” means “anyone, regardless of wealth”
This chapter shows that being holy means:- Being fair in business- Helping poor people- Respecting parents and elderly people- Being honest in court- Using correct measurements- Not spreading rumors
The chapter gives rules about:- Leaving food for poor people to gather- Paying workers on time- Being fair to everyone in court- Not hating others secretly- Loving neighbors- Respecting the elderly
The chapter includes rules about:- Keeping the Sabbath- Not worshiping idols- Proper sacrifices- Not consulting fortune-tellers- Not following pagan practices(See: holy, righteous, and justice)
