Leviticus 8:31

8:31 Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, and there you are to eat it and the bread which is in the ordination offering basket, just as I have commanded, ¹  saying, ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it,’

Leviticus 8:1

Ordination of the Priests

8:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: ² 

Leviticus 2:13

2:13 Moreover, you must season every one of your grain offerings with salt; you must not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be missing from your grain offering ³  – on every one of your grain offerings you must present salt.

Leviticus 2:15

2:15 And you must put olive oil on it and set frankincense on it – it is a grain offering.

Ezekiel 46:20-24

46:20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests will boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they will bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out to the outer court to transmit holiness to the people.”

46:21 Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me past the four corners of the court, and I noticed ⁴  that in every corner of the court there was a court. 46:22 In the four corners of the court were small ⁵  courts, 70 feet ⁶  in length and 52½ feet ⁷  in width; the four were all the same size. 46:23 There was a row of masonry around each of the four courts, and places for boiling offerings were made under the rows all around. 46:24 Then he said to me, “These are the houses for boiling, where the ministers of the temple boil the sacrifices of the people.”

¹ tn Several major ancient versions have the passive form of the verb (see BHS v. 31 note c; cf. Lev 8:35; 10:13). In that case we would translate, “just as I was commanded.”

² sn Lev 8 is the fulfillment account of the ordination legislation recorded in Exod 29, and is directly connected to the command to ordain the tabernacle and priesthood in Exod 40:1-16 as well as the partial record of its fulfillment in Exod 40:17-38.

³ tn Heb “from upon your grain offering.”

⁴ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

⁵ tc The meaning of the Hebrew term is unclear. The LXX and Syriac render “small.”

⁶ tn Heb “forty cubits” (i.e., 21 meters).

⁷ tn Heb “thirty cubits” (i.e., 15.75 meters).
