Leviticus 6:1

Trespass by Deception and False Oath

6:1 (5:20) ¹  Then the Lord spoke to Moses: ² 

Leviticus 1:12

1:12 Next, the one presenting the offering ³  must cut it into parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest must arrange them on the wood which is in the fire, on the altar.

¹ sn Beginning with 6:1, the verse numbers through 6:30 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 6:1 ET = 5:20 HT, 6:2 ET = 5:21 HT, 6:8 ET = 6:1 HT, etc., through 6:30 ET = 6:23 HT. Beginning with 7:1 the verse numbers in the English text and Hebrew text are again the same.

² sn This paragraph is Lev 6:1-7 in the English Bible but Lev 5:20-26 in the Hebrew text. The quotation introduced by v. 1 extends from Lev 6:2 (5:21 HT) through 6:7 (5:26 HT), encompassing the third main section of guilt offering regulations. Compare the notes on Lev 1:1; 4:1; and 5:14 above.

³ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (the offerer) has been specified in the translation for clarity (so also in v. 13).
