4:19 “‘Then the priest 1 must take all its fat 2 and offer the fat 3 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.

19 tn The words “for you” are implied.
