Footnotes

26 Heb “And a man who takes a woman and her mother.” The Hebrew verb “to take” in this context means “to engage in sexual intercourse.”
27 Regarding “lewdness,” see the note on above.
28 Heb “in fire they shall burn him and them.” The active plural verb sometimes requires a passive translation ( §144.f, g), esp. when no active plural subject has been expressed in the context. The present translation specifies “burned to death” because the traditional rendering “burnt with fire” (, ; “burned with fire”) could be understood to mean “branded” or otherwise burned, but not fatally.
