Leviticus 6:15

6:15 and the priest ¹  must take up with his hand some of the choice wheat flour of the grain offering ²  and some of its olive oil, and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he must offer its memorial portion ³  up in smoke on the altar ⁴  as a soothing aroma to the Lord. ⁵ 

Leviticus 22:4

22:4 No man ⁶  from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge ⁷  may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one ⁸  who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person, ⁹  or a man who has a seminal emission, ¹⁰ 

Leviticus 23:13

23:13 along with its grain offering, two tenths of an ephah of ¹¹  choice wheat flour ¹²  mixed with olive oil, as a gift to the Lord, a soothing aroma, ¹³  and its drink offering, one fourth of a hin of wine. ¹⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “and he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. The “he” refers to the officiating priest. A similar shift between singular and plural occurs in Lev 1:7-9, but see the note on Lev 1:7 and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 89 for the possibility of textual corruption.

² tn Heb “shall take up from it with his hand some of the choice wheat flour of the grain offering.”

³ sn See the note on Lev 2:2.

⁴ tc Smr reading, which includes the locative ה (hey, translated “on” the altar), is preferred here. This is the normal construction with the verb “offer up in smoke” in Lev 1-7 (see the note on Lev 1:9).

⁵ tn Heb “and he shall offer up in smoke [on] the altar a soothing aroma, its memorial portion, to the Lord.”

⁶ tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.), but with a negative command it means “No man” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 147).

⁷ sn The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13-15.

⁸ tn Heb “And the one.”

⁹ tn Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on Lev 19:28.

¹⁰ tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”

¹¹ sn See the note on Lev 5:11.

¹² sn See the note on Lev 2:1.

¹³ sn See the note on Lev 1:9.

¹⁴ tn Heb “wine, one fourth of the hin.” A pre-exilic hin is about 3.6 liters (= ca. 1 quart), so one fourth of a hin would be about one cup.
