[3:2] 1 tn See the remarks on Lev 1:3-5 above for some of the details of translation here.
[7:2] 1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the officiating priest) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This priest was responsible for any actions involving direct contact with the altar (e.g., the splashing of the blood).
[7:2] 2 tn See the note on Lev 1:5.
[9:12] 1 tn For smoothness in the English translation, “his” was used in place of “Aaron’s.”
[9:12] 2 tn The verb is a Hiphil form of מָצָא, matsa’, “to find” (i.e., causative, literally “to cause to find,” but here the meaning is “to hand to” or “pass to”; see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 117-18, and J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:581-82). The distinction between this verb and “presented” in v. 9 above (see the note there) is that in v. 9 Aaron’s sons held the bowl while Aaron manipulated some of the blood at the altar, while here in v. 12 they simply handed the bowl to him so he could splash all the blood around on the altar (Milgrom, 581).
[9:12] 3 tn For “splashed” (also in v. 18) see the note on Lev 1:5.
[14:41] 1 tn Or, according to the plurality of the verb in Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Targums, “Then the house shall be scraped” (cf. NAB, NLT, and the note on v. 40).
[14:41] 2 tn Heb “from house all around.”
[14:41] 3 tn Heb “dust” (so KJV) or “rubble”; NIV “the material”; NLT “the scrapings.”
[14:41] 4 tn Heb “which they have scraped off.” The MT term קִיר (qir, “wall” from קָצָה, qatsah, “to cut off”; BDB 892), the original Greek does not have this clause, Smr has הקיצו (with uncertain meaning), and the BHS editors and HALOT 1123-24 s.v. I קצע hif.a suggest emending the verb to הִקְצִעוּ (hiqtsi’u, see the same verb at the beginning of this verse; cf. some Greek
[14:41] 5 tn Heb “into from outside to the city.”
[16:18] 1 tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) indicates the sequence of events here.
[16:18] 2 tn Heb “And he shall take.”
[25:31] 1 tn Heb “And the houses of the villages.”
[25:31] 2 tn Heb “which there is not to them a wall.”
[25:31] 3 tn Heb “on the field.”
[25:44] 1 tn Heb “And your male slave and your female slave.” Smr has these as plural terms, “slaves,” not singular.
[25:44] 2 tn Heb “ from the nations which surround you, from them you shall buy male slave and female slave.”
