Footnotes

  1. 54 The words “the care of” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied. Although many modern English versions render “with its mother” (e.g., , , , , ), the literal phrase “under its mother” refers to the young animal nursing from its mother. Cf. , “it shall be seven days under the dam,” which would probably be misunderstood.
  2. 55 Heb “for an offering of a gift.”
