4:35 Then the one who brought the offering ¹¹  must remove all its fat (just as the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace offering sacrifice) and the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar on top of the other gifts of the Lord. So the priest will make atonement ¹²  on his behalf for his sin which he has committed and he will be forgiven. ¹³ 

Leviticus 20:24

¹ tn Heb “And the fat of the sin offering he is to offer up.”

² tn The words “This is” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied due to requirements of English style.

³ tn Heb “for your generations”; NAB “for your descendants”; NLT “for you and all your descendants.”

⁴ tn Heb “all fat and all blood you must not eat.”

³ tn Heb “all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall take up from it.”

⁴ tc The MT has here the preposition עַל (’al, “on, upon” [i.e., “which covers on the entrails,” as awkward in Hebrew as it is in English]), but Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Targums read אֶת (’et), which is what would be expected (i.e., “which covers the entrails”; cf. Lev 3:3, 9, 14). It may have been mistakenly inserted here under the influence of “on (עַל) the entrails” at the end of the verse.

⁵ tn Heb “and all the fat on the entrails.” The fat layer that covers the entrails as a whole (i.e., “that covers the entrails”) is different from the fat that surrounds and adheres to the various organs (“on the entrails,” i.e., surrounding them; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:205-7).

⁴ sn See the note on Lev 7:20.

⁵ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

⁶ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

⁶ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here “he” refers to the offerer rather than the priest (contrast the clauses before and after).

⁷ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

⁸ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

⁷ tc Here and with the same phrase in v. 26, the LXX adds “all,” resulting in the reading “all the peoples.”
