Leviticus 4:19

4:19 “‘Then the priest ¹  must take all its fat ²  and offer the fat ³  up in smoke on the altar.

Leviticus 7:5

7:5 Then the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar ⁴  as a gift to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.

Leviticus 8:19

8:19 and he slaughtered it. ⁵  Moses then splashed the blood against the altar’s sides.

Leviticus 9:20

9:20 they ⁶  set those on the breasts and he offered the fat parts up in smoke on the altar.

¹ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. Based on the parallel statement in 4:10 and 4:31, it is the priest who performs this action rather than the person who brought the offering.

² tn Heb “take up all its fat from it”; NASB “shall remove all its fat from it.”

³ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the fat) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Only the fat is meant here, since the “rest” of the bull is mentioned in v. 21.

⁴ tn See the note on Lev 1:9 above.

⁷ tn Aaron probably did the slaughtering (cf. the notes on Lev 8:15-16 above).

¹⁰ tn The plural “they” refers to the sons of Aaron (cf. v. 18). The LXX, Smr, and Syriac have singular “he,” referring to Aaron alone as in the latter half of the verse (the singular is followed here by NLT). Cf. NCV “Aaron’s sons put them.”
