[27:5]  ¹ tn The verb is the verb “to be,” here the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive. It is “and it will be” or “that it may be,” or here “that it may come” halfway up.

[27:5]  ² tn Heb “to the half of the altar.”

[26:32]  ¹ tn Heb “put it.”

[26:32]  ² tn This clause simply says “and their hooks gold,” but is taken as a circumstantial clause telling how the veil will be hung.

[26:32]  ³ tn Heb “on four silver bases.”

[28:25]  ¹ tn Here “the other” has been supplied.

[28:25]  ² tn Here “them” has been supplied.

[28:27]  ¹ tn Here “more” has been supplied.

[29:12]  ¹ sn This act seems to have signified the efficacious nature of the blood, since the horns represented power. This is part of the ritual of the sin offering for laity, because before the priests become priests they are treated as laity. The offering is better described as a purification offering rather than a sin offering, because it was offered, according to Leviticus, for both sins and impurities. Moreover, it was offered primarily to purify the sanctuary so that the once-defiled or sinful person could enter (see J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB]).

[29:12]  ² tn The phrase “rest of” has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[40:5]  ¹ tn Heb “give” (also four additional times in vv. 6-8).

[26:33]  ¹ tn The traditional expression is “within the veil,” literally “into the house (or area) of the (special) curtain.”

[26:33]  ² tn Or “the Holy of Holies.”

[29:20]  ¹ sn By this ritual the priests were set apart completely to the service of God. The ear represented the organ of hearing (as in “ears you have dug” in Ps 40 or “awakens my ear” in Isa 50), and this had to be set apart to God so that they could hear the Word of God. The thumb and the hand represented the instrument to be used for all ministry, and so everything that they “put their hand to” had to be dedicated to God and appropriate for his service. The toe set the foot apart to God, meaning that the walk of the priest had to be consecrated – where he went, how he conducted himself, what life he lived, all belonged to God now.
