sn The “first fruit” referred to here was given to the priests as a prebend for their service to the Lord, not offered on the altar (Num 18:12).

tn Heb “toward the altar” (see the note on Lev 1:9).

tn For the translation “splash” see the note on Lev 1:5.

tn The LXX adds “all around” (i.e., Hebrew סָבִיב [saviv, “all around”]), which is normal for this overall construction (see, e.g., Lev 1:5; 3:8, etc.).

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

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

tn Again, Aaron probably did the washing (v. 21a), but Moses presented the portions on the altar (v. 21b; cf. the note on v. 15 above).
