JND Translation Notes

b
Corban, "gift," or "present," see ch. 1.2. "First-fruits," here in ver. 12, is "beginning," Gen. 1.1. The word for "firstfruits" in ver. 14 is more strictly in general for "first-born"; first-ripe in Jer. 24.2; Hos. 9.10.
c
Lit. "shall not ascend." see ch. 14.20; Gen. 8.20; 22.13, etc.; Ex. 25.37.
