59 Heb “in” (so , ; also later in this verse).
60 Heb “fathers’ ” (also in the following verse).
61 Heb “And.” Many English versions take this to be a conditional clause (“if …”) though there is no conditional particle (see, e.g., , , ; but see the very different rendering in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [], ). The temporal translation offered here (“when”) takes into account the particle אָז (’az, “then”), which occurs twice in v. 41. The obvious contextual contrast between vv. 39 and 40 is expressed by “however” in the translation.
62 Heb “in their trespassing which they trespassed in me.” See the note on , although the term is used in a more technical sense there in relation to the “guilt offering.”
63 Heb “and also which they walked.”
64 Heb “with me.”
65 Heb “or then,” although the has “then” and the “and then.”
66 Heb “and then they make up for.” On the verb “make up for” see the note on v. above.
67 Heb “my covenant with Abraham I will remember.” The phrase “I will remember” has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
