¹ sn Cf. Lev 4:11-12 above for the disposition of “the [rest of] the bull.”

³ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to them” or “it shall be forgiven to them.”

⁵ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

⁶ tn Heb “from.” In this phrase the preposition מִן (min) may be referring to the reason or cause (“on account of, because of”; GKC 383 §119.z). As J. E. Hartley (Leviticus [WBC], 47) points out, “from” may refer to the removal of the sin, but is an awkward expression. Hartley also suggests that the phrasing might be “an elliptical expression for יְכַפֵּר עַל־לְטַהֵר אֶת־מִן, ‘he will make expiation for…to cleanse…from…,’ as in 16:30.”

⁷ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

⁷ tn The word “bird” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

¹⁰ tn See the note on 4:26 with regard to מִן, min.

¹¹ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

¹⁰ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

¹¹ tn Heb “from one from these,” referring to the four kinds of violations of the law delineated in Lev 5:1-4 (see the note on Lev 5:5 above and cf. Lev 4:27).

¹² tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

¹³ tn Heb “and it”; the referent (the remaining portion of the offering) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁴ tn Heb “and it shall be to the priest like the grain offering,” referring to the rest of the grain that was not offered on the altar (cf. the regulations in Lev 2:3, 10).
