¹ sn See the note on this phrase in 3:3.

² sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

³ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

³ 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).

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

⁵ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

⁴ tn Heb “in it,” apparently referring to the “hearth” which was on top of the altar (cf. the note on v. 9).

⁵ tn Or “desecrated,” or “defiled,” or “forbidden.” For this difficult term see J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:422. Cf. NIV “it is impure”; NCV “it will become unclean”; NLT “will be contaminated.”

⁶ tn Heb “his iniquity he shall bear” (cf. Lev 5:1); NIV “will be held responsible”; NRSV “shall incur guilt”; TEV “will suffer the consequences.”

⁶ sn For these categories of unclean animals see Lev 11.

⁷ sn For the interpretation of this last clause see the note on Lev 7:20.

⁷ tn Or “a perpetual regulation”; cf. NASB “as their due forever”; NRSV “as a perpetual due”; NLT “their regular share.”

⁸ tn See the note on Lev 9:12.

⁹ tn The word “ceremonially” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that the cleanness of the place specified is ritual or ceremonial in nature.

¹⁰ sn Cf. Lev 7:14, 28-34 for these regulations.

¹⁰ tn Heb “So that which.”

¹¹ tn Heb “on the faces of the field.”

¹¹ tn The meaning of the expression לְפַלֵּא־נֶדֶר (lÿfalle’-neder) rendered here “for a special votive offering” is much debated. Some take it as an expression for fulfilling a vow, “to fulfill a vow” (e.g., HALOT 927-28 s.v. פלא piel and NASB; cf. NAB, NRSV “in fulfillment of a vow”) or, alternatively, “to make a vow” or “for making a vow” (HALOT 928 s.v. פלא piel [II פלא]). Perhaps it refers to the making a special vow, from the verb פָלַא (pala’, “to be wonderful, to be remarkable”); cf. J. Milgrom, Numbers (JPSTC), 44. B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 151 and 193, suggests that this is a special term for “setting aside a votive offering” (related to פָלָה [palah, “to set aside”]). In general, the point of the expression seems to be that this sacrifice arises as a special gift to God out of special circumstances in the life of the worshiper.

¹² tn Heb “for acceptance”; NAB “if it is to find acceptance.”

¹³ tn Heb “all/any flaw shall not be in it.”
