Leviticus 8:20-22

8:20 Then he ¹  cut the ram into parts, ²  and Moses offered the head, the parts, and the suet up in smoke, 8:21 but the entrails and the legs he washed with water, ³  and Moses offered the whole ram up in smoke on the altar – it was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma, a gift to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. ⁴ 

8:22 Then he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, ⁵  and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram

¹ tn Again, Aaron probably cut the ram up into parts (v. 20a), but Moses presented them on the altar (v. 20b; cf. the note on v. 15 above).

² tn Heb “cut it into its parts.” One could translate here, “quartered it” (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:133; cf. Lev 1:6, 12 above).

³ tn Again, Aaron probably did the washing (v. 21a), but Moses presented the portions on the altar (v. 21b; cf. the note on v. 15 above).

⁴ tn See Lev 1:9, 13.

⁵ tn For “ordination offering” see Lev 7:37
