Leviticus 16:21

16:21 Aaron is to lay his two hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities of the Israelites and all their transgressions in regard to all their sins, ¹  and thus he is to put them ²  on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man standing ready. ³ 

Leviticus 22:4

22:4 No man ⁴  from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge ⁵  may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one ⁶  who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person, ⁷  or a man who has a seminal emission, ⁸ 

¹ tn Heb “transgressions to all their sins.”

² tn Heb “and he shall give them.”

³ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term עִתִּי (’itti) is uncertain. It is apparently related to עֵת (’et, “time”), and could perhaps mean either that he has been properly “appointed” (i.e., designated) for the task (e.g., NIV and NRSV) or “ready” (e.g., NASB and NEB).

⁴ tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.), but with a negative command it means “No man” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 147).

⁵ sn The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13-15.

⁶ tn Heb “And the one.”

⁷ tn Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on Lev 19:28.

⁸ tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”
