Footnotes

  1. 52 Heb “And from the hand of a son of a foreigner.”
  2. 53 Heb “for their being ruined [is] in them, flaw is in them”; “are mutilated, with a blemish in them”; “are deformed and have defects.” The term מָשְׁחָתָם (moshkhatam, “their being ruined”) is a Muqtal form (= Hophal participle) from שָׁחַת (shakhat, “to ruin”). has plural בהם משׁחתים (“deformities in them”; cf. the translation). The Qumran Leviticus scroll (11QpaleoLev) has תים הם[…], in which case the restored participle would appear to be the same as , but there is no בְּ (bet) preposition before the pronoun, yielding “they are deformed” (see D. N. Freedman and K. A. Mathews, The Paleo-Hebrew Leviticus Scroll, 41 and the remarks in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [], ).
