24:5 “You must take choice wheat flour 15 and bake twelve loaves; 16 there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in 17 each loaf,
1 tn Heb “and it shall happen when he becomes guilty to one from these,” referring to any of “these” possible transgressions in Lev 5:1-4. Tg. Onq., the original Greek translation, and the Latin Vulgate omit this clause, possibly due to homoioteleuton because of the repetition of “to one from these” from the end of v. 4 in v. 5a (cf. the note on v. 4b).
2 tn Heb “which he sinned on it”; cf. ASV “confess that wherein he hath sinned”; NCV “must tell how he sinned.”
3 tn Heb “like the sin offering like the guilt offering, one law to them.”
5 tn Heb “And the priest shall command and he shall slaughter.” See the note on “be taken up” (v. 4).
6 tn Heb “into a vessel of clay over living water.” The expression “living [i.e., ‘fresh’] water” (cf. Lev 14:50; 15:13; Num 19:17) refers to water that flows. It includes such water sources as artesian wells (Gen 26:19; Song of Songs 4:15), springs (Jer 2:13, as opposed to cisterns; cf. 17:13), and flowing streams (Zech 14:8). In other words, this is water that has not stood stagnant as, for example, in a sealed-off cistern.
7 tn Heb “the one from the turtledoves.”
8 tc Heb “from which his hand reaches.” The repetition of virtually the same expression at the beginning of v. 31 in the MT is probably due to dittography (cf. the LXX and Syriac). However, the MT may be retained if it is understood as “one of the turtledoves or young pigeons that are within his means – whichever he can afford” (see J. Milgrom’s translation in Leviticus [AB], 1:828, contra his commentary, 862; cf. REB).
9 tn See the note on v. 5 above.
11 tn Heb “And he shall take.”
12 tn Heb “he-goats of goats”; CEV “two goats, both of them males.”
13 tn Heb “And an ox or a sheep, it and its son, you shall not slaughter.”
14 tn Heb “in one day.”
15 tn Heb “And you shall make.”
16 tn Heb “a he-goat of goats.”
17 sn See the note on Lev 2:1.
18 tn Heb “and bake it twelve loaves”; KJV, NAB, NASB “cakes.”
19 tn The words “of flour” are supplied in the translation for clarity.
19 tn Heb “a regulation of one”; KJV, ASV “one manner of law”; NASB “one standard.”
