¹ tn Heb “or his sin which he sinned in it is made known to him”; NAB “if he learns of the sin he committed.”

² tn Lev 4:22b-23a is difficult. The present translation suggests that there are two possible legal situations envisioned, separated by the Hebrew אוֹ (’o, “or”) at the beginning of v. 23. Lev 4:22b refers to any case in which the leader readily admits his guilt (i.e., “pleads guilty”), whereas v. 23a refers to cases where the leader is convicted of his guilt by legal action (“his sin…is made known to him”). See R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:95-96; Lev 4:27-28; and esp. the notes on Lev 5:1 below.

³ tn Heb “a he-goat of goats, a male without defect”; cf. NLT “with no physical defects.”

⁴ tn Heb “or if he touches uncleanness of mankind to any of his uncleanness which he becomes unclean in it.”

⁷ tn Heb “and swears on falsehood”; cf. CEV “deny something while under oath.”

⁸ tn Heb “on one from all which the man shall do to sin in them.”

¹⁰ sn Regarding “make atonement” see the note on Lev 1:4.

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

¹² tn Heb “on one from all which he does to become guilty in it”; NAB “whatever guilt he may have incurred.”

¹³ tn Heb “and if.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

¹⁵ tn Heb “and the priest will shut him up seven days.”

¹⁶ tn See the note on Lev 15:2 above.

¹⁷ tn Heb “blood shall be her discharge in her flesh.” The term “flesh” here refers euphemistically to the female sexual area (cf. the note on v. 2 above).

¹⁸ tn See the note on Lev 12:2 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:925-27.

¹⁹ tn See the note on v. 20 above.

²⁰ tn Heb “to copulate with it” (cf. Lev 20:16).

²¹ tn The Hebrew term תֶּבֶל (tevel, “perversion”) derives from the verb “to mix; to confuse” and therefore refers to illegitimate mixtures of species or violation of the natural order of things.
