I’ve been considering yehôvâh’s fearful pronouncement: I punish (pâqad, פק) the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons for the sin of the fathers who reject me…[1] By way of review, I didn’t find anything about the Hebrew word itself that would compel anyone to translate פקד (pâqad) I punish. While I don’t have any particular quarrel with calling the plague of Exodus 32:35 a punishment, I’m not convinced it justifies translating pâqad I punish (פקדי) and I will indeed punish (ופקדתי) beyond this limited context.[2]
After a kind of thought experiment I concluded that the translation of פקד (pâqad) as I punish in Deuteronomy 5:9 was a perpetuation of an erroneous popular notion of religious minds that was clearly corrected in Ezekiel 18.[3] Though the fixation on punishment in Leviticus 18:25 was difficult for me to unravel, it hasn’t really dissuaded me from the idea that yehôvâh visits iniquity itself upon descendants to consign all to disobedience so that he may show mercy to them all.[4]
In another essay I began to consider the story of Joseph’s brothers (Genesis 42-45) as a narrative example of bearing iniquity. Here I’ll continue in that light with the peace-offering (shelem, שלמיו) sacrifice.
| Masoretic Text | Septuagint | ||
| Leviticus 7:18 (Tanakh) | Leviticus 7:18 (NET) | Leviticus 7:8 (NETS) | Leviticus 7:18 (Elpenor English) |
| And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings (שְׁלָמָ֜יו) be at all eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it; it shall be an abhorred thing, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear (תִּשָּֽׂא) his iniquity (עֲוֹנָ֥הּ). | If some of the meat of his peace-offering (שלמיו) sacrifice is ever eaten on the third day it will not be accepted; it will not be accounted to the one who presented it since it is spoiled, and the person who eats from it will bear (nâśâʼ, תשׁא) his punishment for iniquity (ʽâvôn, עונה). | But if when eating, he should eat some of the meat on the third day, it will not be accepted for him who offers it, nor shall it be credited to him. It is a defilement, and the soul who eats any of it shall assume (λήμψεται [Table4 below]) the guilt (ἁμαρτίαν). | And if he do at all eat of the flesh on the third day, it shall not be accepted for him that offers: it shall not be reckoned to him, it is pollution; and whatsoever soul shall eat of it, shall bear (λήψεται) his iniquity (ἁμαρτίαν). |
The NET translators’ interpretation is most familiar and congenial to the social construction of my reality growing up. Without refrigeration meat would spoil. So the punishment for the iniquity of eating meat on the third day would be diarrhea, vomiting or worse. By this interpretation יהוה (yehôvâh) seems considerably more permissive than the USDA:
Last night I left cooked roast beef on the counter to cool before refrigerating, but fell asleep and discovered it this morning. I immediately put it in the refrigerator. Since the meat is cooked, shouldn’t it be safe to eat?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Meat and Poultry Hotline receives similar calls every day from consumers who are confused about how to keep their food safe. The answer to this caller’s question is that the roast beef should be thrown out. Why? Because leaving food out too long at room temperature can cause bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness.
I’ve learned, when confronted with contrasts such as this, to resist my native reasoning: “God believed thus and such but now we know better.” USDA guidelines are written with the contemporary physiology of citizens of the USA in mind. I think I have good reasons to suspect that the ancient descendants of Jacob were heartier souls than we. At least they hadn’t waged indiscriminate warfare against their own digestive and immune systems with antibiotics. It’s entirely possible the bacteria that harm us would have been handled by their immune systems. The people of ancient Israel may have suffered no digestive distress from eating unrefrigerated meat, even on the third day.
The iniquity of eating the meat of the peace-offering (shelem, שלמים) on the third day was explained later in Leviticus.
| Masoretic Text | Septuagint | ||
| Leviticus 19:8a (Tanakh) | Leviticus 19:8a (NET) | Leviticus 19:8a (NETS) | Leviticus 19:8a (Elpenor English) |
| But every one that eateth it shall bear (יִשָּׂ֔א) his iniquity (עֲוֹנ֣וֹ), because he hath profaned the holy thing (קֹ֥דֶשׁ) of HaShem… | and the one who eats it will bear (nâśâʼ, ישׁא) his punishment for iniquity (ʽâvôn, עונו) because he has profaned what is holy (qôdesh, קדש) to the Lord. | And he who eats it shall assume (λήμψεται) guilt (ἁμαρτίαν) because he has profaned what is holy (ἅγια) to the Lord… | And he that eats it shall bear (λήψεται) his iniquity (ἁμαρτίαν), because he has profaned the holy things (ἅγια) of the Lord… |
In other words, יהוה (yehôvâh) declared that the meat of the peace-offering was not to be eaten on the third day. Anyone, therefore, who ate the meat of the peace-offering on the third day had profaned what is holy to the Lord (e.g., his own word declaring that the meat should not be eaten on the third day) and shall bear his iniquity. The one who disobeys יהוה (yehôvâh) is subject to misunderstanding and confusion similar to that experienced by Joseph’s brothers. The sinner’s thoughts stray from faith—The LORD (יְהֹוָ֥ה) is my shepherd; I shall not want[5]—into mistrust—“God will get me if I don’t watch out.”
I didn’t bear my iniquity with anything like the aplomb of Joseph’s brothers. I felt obligated to become an atheist when God didn’t “get me” even though I had failed to “watch out.” Those who profaned what is holy to the Lord were told precisely how to bear their iniquity with aplomb (Leviticus 5:14-16). And I don’t see any reason to burden factual information regarding what transpires within the soul that profanes God’s holy word with the concept punishment. What seemed like diarrhea or vomiting in the NET translation of Leviticus 7 becomes a very different “punishment” in Leviticus 19.
| Masoretic Text | Septuagint | ||
| Leviticus 19:8 (Tanakh) | Leviticus 19:8 (NET) | Leviticus 19:8 (NETS) | Leviticus 19:8 (Elpenor English) |
| But every one that eateth it shall bear (יִשָּׂ֔א) his iniquity (עֲוֹנ֣וֹ), because he hath profaned the holy thing (קֹ֥דֶשׁ) of HaShem; and that soul shall be cut off from his people. | and the one who eats it will bear (nâśâʼ, ישׁא) his punishment for iniquity (ʽâvôn, עונו) because he has profaned what is holy (qôdesh, קדש) to the Lord. That person will be cut off from his people. | And he who eats it shall assume (λήμψεται) guilt (ἁμαρτίαν) because he has profaned what is holy (ἅγια) to the Lord, and the souls who eat it shall be exterminated from their people. | And he that eats it shall bear (λήψεται) his iniquity (ἁμαρτίαν), because he has profaned the holy things (ἅγια) of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people. |
Rather than gastric distress the “punishment” for profaning what is holy to the Lord is, That person will be cut off (exterminated, destroyed) from (among) his people. In Leviticus 7 this was true of him who ate having his uncleanness upon him.
| Masoretic Text | Septuagint | ||
| Leviticus 7:20 (Tanakh) | Leviticus 7:20 (NET) | Leviticus 7:10 (NETS) | Leviticus 7:20 (Elpenor English) |
| But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings (הַשְּׁלָמִים֙), that pertain unto HaShem, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from his people. | The person who eats meat from the peace-offering (shelem, השלמים) sacrifice which belongs to the Lord while that person’s uncleanness persists will be cut off from his people. | But the soul who should eat any of the sacrifice of deliverance, which belongs to the Lord, and his uncleanness is on him—that soul shall be utterly destroyed from his people. | And whatsoever soul shall eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace-offering which is the Lord’s, and his uncleanness be upon him, that soul shall perish from his people. |
The Hebrew word translated cut off was ונכרתה (kârath). A note (29) in the NET explained:
The exact meaning of this penalty clause is not certain. It could mean that he will be executed, whether by God or by man, he will be excommunicated from sanctuary worship and/or community benefits (cf. TEV, CEV), or his line will be terminated by God (i.e., extirpation), etc. See J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 100; J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:457-60; and B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 241-42 for further discussion.
In an article titled, “Karet or Being ‘Cut Off’ in Torah,” Derek Lemen[6] (following Jacob Milgrom) added “a denial of afterlife” to this list:
As Milgrom points out, karet may very well be both denial of afterlife and a decree from God that a person’s family line will come to an end.
Frankly, I’m not buying it in this context. Mr. Leman noted the lack of proportionality:
Jacob Milgrom categorizes and lists all the crimes in Torah that result in being cut off. The list is surprising. Offenses range from those which seem relatively minor (eating leaven during Passover week) to major (sacrificing children to Molech).
It didn’t dissuade him from titling the foregoing paragraph “Causes of the Karet Penalty.” I noted the lack of specificity when considered as a penalty. In Leviticus 7:18-20 “being cut off” reads like the additional penalty of an aggravated offence, while in Leviticus 19:8 it was simply tacked on to eating meat the third day. The lack of specificity and proportionality doesn’t sound like law to me, nor does it sound like the God I am beginning to know.
I can’t wish away the varied meanings of כָּרַת (kârath). Perhaps I can add another one, more in keeping with the idea that the story of Joseph’s brothers (Genesis 42-45) is a narrative example of bearing iniquity. I’m proposing that—that soul shall be cut off from his people—means what it sounds like in this context: the sinner is estranged from the righteous in his own soul much like Joseph’s brothers were estranged from Joseph, so estranged in fact that they couldn’t even recognize him as their brother.
And G-d spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:[7] And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off (kârath, יִכָּרֵ֧ת) any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.’[8] This first occurrence, referencing the story of the flood (Genesis 7, 8), defines יִכָּרֵ֧ת (kârath) as death but also potentially extirpation, “the end of a family line,” for all family lines but Noah’s ended at the flood. The Greek word ἀποθανεῖται (a form of ἀποθνήσκω) in the Septuagint seems to favor death only.
And Jesus said, “Go!” So the demons came out and went into the pigs,[9] and the herd[10] rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned (ἀπέθανον, another form of ἀποθνήσκω) in the water.[11] But even Moses[12] revealed that the dead are raised in the passage about the bush, Jesus said, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the[13] God of Isaac and the[14] God of Jacob. Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live before him.[15] Assuming that those who are never born do not live before him (and that may or may not be a questionable assumption), it is difficult to discern whether death or extirpation would be the more tragic to the Holy Spirit.
The next occurrence of כָּרַ֧ת (kârath) seems completely different (Genesis 15:18 Tanakh).
In that day HaShem made (kârath, כָּרַ֧ת) a covenant with Abram, saying: ‘Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates;
It was translated διέθετο (a form of διατίθεμαι) in the Septuagint and was used for the same purpose in Peter’s sermon at the temple after Pentecost (Acts 3:25 NET).
You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made (διέθετο, a form of διατίθεμαι) with your[16] ancestors, saying to Abraham, ‘And in[17] your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.’
Forms of כָּרַת (kârath) were used four other times in Genesis in a similar way and translated as follows in the Septuagint.
| Reference | Tanakh | Hebrew | Greek | Elpenor English |
| Genesis 15:18 | made | כָּרַ֧ת | διέθετο, a form of διατίθεμαι | made |
| Genesis 21:27 | made | וַיִּכְרְת֥וּ | διέθεντο, a form of διατίθημι | made |
| Genesis 21:32 | made | וַיִּכְרְת֥וּ | διέθεντο, a form of διατίθημι | made |
| Genesis 26:28 | make | וְנִכְרְתָ֥ה | διαθησόμεθα, another form of διατίθημι | will make |
| Genesis 31:44 | make | נִכְרְתָ֥ה | διαθώμεθα, another form of διατίθημι | make |
Genesis 17:14 stands apart.
| Masoretic Text | Septuagint | ||
| Genesis 17:14 (Tanakh) | Genesis 17:14 (NET) | Genesis 17:14 (NETS) | Genesis 17:14 (Elpenor English) |
| And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.’ | Any uncircumcised male who has not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin will be cut off from his people—he has failed to carry out my requirement.” | And as for an uncircumcised male who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be destroyed from his kin, for he has scattered my covenant.” | And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from its family, for he has broken my covenant. |
The phrase τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ (on the eighth day) is not found in the Masoretic text. Whether it was added by the rabbis or removed by the Masoretes is uncertain, but it changes the verse significantly from a threat of legal jeopardy against a recalcitrant adult (who for some unknown and unspecified reason was not circumcised as an infant) to a warning to the parents of a male infant. The rabbis chose ἐξολεθρευθήσεται or ἐξολοθρευθήσεται (Table20 below) for וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה (kârath) here. Both are passive forms of ἐξολεθρεύω, translated “shall be destroyed” (NETS) and shall be utterly destroyed (English Elpenor), though they might have been translated “will be ruined” or “will suffer serious damage” from his people, kin, family.
I’m thinking here of the trouble (Genesis 42:1-20) Joseph caused his brothers. Being thrown into a pit and sold as a slave (Genesis 37:23-28) strained, to say the least, Joseph’s sense of brotherhood. A man raised by parents who refused to have him circumcised, or a man who himself refused to be circumcised, profaning the word of God, would incite various forms of retaliation among his “brothers.” Joseph’s vengeance was strictly limited by something not entirely unlike the Holy Spirit’s ἐγκράτεια, (NET: self-control). But such a man as described above could “suffer serious damage” from his brothers. And this warning sounds more like the God Jesus revealed.
Paul recalled an interesting detail about Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus: Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? Jesus said. You are hurting yourself by kicking against the goads.[18] I admit, I misunderstood King James’ English: it is hard for thee (σκληρόν σοι) to kick against the pricks. I thought Jesus was concerned about what Saul was doing to Him rather than what Saul did to himself.
The final occurrence of תִכָּרֵ֥ת (kârath) in Genesis is found in Joseph’s solution to Pharaoh’s dreams. Joseph prophesied: seven years of famine…shall consume (kâlâh, וְכִלָּ֥ה; Septuagint: ἀναλώσει, a form of ἀναλίσκω) the land;[19] the thing is established by G-d, and G-d will shortly bring it to pass.[20] But if Pharaoh stored a fifth of the produce of seven years of abundance which would proceed the seven years of famine, the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish (תִכָּרֵ֥ת) not through the famine.[21]
Here תִכָּרֵ֥ת (kârath) may have meant death or extirpation of family lines or simply that people would flee the land of Egypt for greener pastures. The rabbis chose ἐκτριβήσεται (Table26 below), which was translated “the land will (shall) not be annihilated (utterly destroyed) by the famine” in English. If one is not overcome by the fear of (or a reverence for) punishment forms of ἐκτρίβω might have been translated “to drive out, get rid of.” Whatever תִכָּרֵ֥ת (kârath) meant here, the point is that God sent Joseph with a plan to negate or mitigate it.
Thus ye speak, God told Ezekiel to tell Israel, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?[22] In other words, if we are bearing our iniquity and cut off from the righteous (though transgressors probably constituted a significant majority of the population in Israel at that particular moment) how should we then live? Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?[23]
In the NETS translation of the Septuagint (Table30 below) this “death” was clearly of the “life’s a bitch and then you die” variety. This is not to say that it wouldn’t end in literal death eventually, but that the point was to “Turn back from your way by turning back.” Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.[24]
As one who is being rooted and grounded in love, and knowing the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, I can’t help but notice that as God determined a famine for the land of Egypt he sent Joseph with a remedy that would keep the land from being cut off. This was Egypt where the descendants of Israel learned the sexualized worship that plagued them at Sinai and beyond. Cleary, God causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good (Matthew 5:43-45 NET):
You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemy[25] and pray for those[26] who persecute you, so that you may be like (υἱοὶ; literally: a son of) your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
