1 tn Heb “…is to Aaron and to his sons.” The preposition “to” (לְ, lamed) indicates ownership. Cf. NAB, NASB, NIV and other English versions.
2 tn The words “it is” (הוּא, hu’) are not in the MT, but are supplied for the sake of translation into English. The Syriac also for translational reasons adds it between “most holy” and “from the gifts” (cf. 1:13, 17).
3 tn Heb “holy of holies”; KJV, NASB “a thing most holy.”
4 tn The Hebrew verb הֵרִים (herim, “to take up”; cf. NAB “lift”) is commonly used for setting aside portions of an offering (see, e.g., Lev 4:8-10 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 4:335-36). A number of English versions employ the more normal English idiom “take out” here (e.g., NIV, NCV); cf. NRSV “remove.”
5 tn The words “it is” (הוּא, hu’) both here and in vv. 10 and 16 are not in the MT, but are assumed. (cf. vv. 2b and 3b and the notes there).
7 tn See the note on “it is” in v. 9b.
10 tn Heb “a male or female without defect he shall present it”; cf. NLT “must have no physical defects.”
13 tn Heb “then he.” This pronoun refers to the offerer, who was responsible for slaughtering the animal. Contrast v. 2 above and v. 5 below.
16 tn In the verse “his” refers to the offerer.
19 sn The latter part of the verse (“in addition to the morning burnt offering”) refers to the complex of morning (and evening) burnt and grain offerings that was the daily regulation for the tabernacle from the time of its erection (Exod 40:29). The regulations for it were appended to the end of the section of priestly consecration regulations in Exod 29 (see Exod 29:38-40) precisely because they were to be maintained throughout the priestly consecration period and beyond (Lev 8:33-36). Thus, the morning burnt and grain offerings would already have been placed on the altar before the inaugural burnt and grain offerings referred to here.
22 tn Heb “and he shall shut up the house seven days.”
25 tn Heb “and who a lying of seed goes out from him.”
26 tn Heb “to become unclean in it.”
28 tn Heb “and he shall purify it and he shall consecrate it.”
31 tn Heb “On that day”; NIV, NCV “that same day.”
32 tn Heb “from it.”
34 tn That is, the produce of the land (fem.; cf. v. 7 above).
37 tn Heb “permanently dedicated from among men.”
