Footnotes

  1. 22 Heb “set apart.” The verb קָדַשׁ (qadash) in the Qal verbal stem (as here) has the idea of being holy or being treated with special care. Some take the meaning as “be off-limits, forfeited,” i.e., the total produce of the vineyard, both crops and grapes, have to be forfeited to the sanctuary (cf. Exod 29:37; 30:29; Lev 6:18, 27; Num 16:37–38; Hag 2:12).
  2. 23 The Hebrew term שַׁעַטְנֵז (sha’atnez) occurs only here and in Lev 19:19. takes it to be a contraction of words (שַׁשׁ [shash, “headdress”] + עַטְנַז [’atnaz, “strong”]). 1043 שַׁעַטְנֵז offers the translation “mixed stuff” (cf. “woven with two kinds of yarn”; , , , “woven together”). The general meaning is clear even if the etymology is not.
