4:35 Then the one who brought the offering ⁶  must remove all its fat (just as the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace offering sacrifice) and the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar on top of the other gifts of the Lord. So the priest will make atonement ⁷  on his behalf for his sin which he has committed and he will be forgiven. ⁸ 

Leviticus 8:21

Leviticus 22:27

[1:17]  ¹ tn Heb “he shall not divide it.” Several Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, and Syriac have a vav on the negative, yielding the translation, “but he shall not divide it into two parts.” Cf. NIV “not severing it completely” (NRSV similar).

[2:2]  ² tn Heb “and he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. The syntax is strange here and might suggest that it was the offerer who scooped out a handful of the grain offering for the memorial portion (G. J. Wenham, Leviticus [NICOT], 66), but based on v. 9 below it should be understood that it was the priest who performed this act (see, e.g., NRSV “After taking from it a handful of the choice flour and oil…the priest shall…”; see also J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:177, 181 and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 30).

[2:2]  ³ sn The “memorial portion” (אַזְכָרָה, ’azkharah) was the part of the grain offering that was burnt on the altar (see the previous clause), as opposed to the remainder, which was normally consumed by the priests (v. 3; see the full regulations in Lev 6:14-23[7-16]). It was probably intended to call to mind (i.e., memorialize) before the Lord the reason for the presentation of the particular offering (see the remarks in R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:335-39).

[2:2]  ⁴ tn The words “it is” have been supplied. See the notes on Lev 1:9 and 2:3. There is no text critical problem here, but the syntax suggests the same translation.

[3:9]  ³ sn See the note on this phrase in 3:3.

[4:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here “he” refers to the offerer rather than the priest (contrast the clauses before and after).

[4:35]  ⁵ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[4:35]  ⁶ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[8:21]  ⁵ 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).

[8:21]  ⁶ tn See Lev 1:9, 13.

[21:21]  ⁶ tn Or “shall approach” (see HALOT 670 s.v. נגשׁ).

[22:22]  ⁷ tn Or perhaps “a wart” (cf. NIV; HALOT 383 s.v. יַבֶּלֶת, but see the remarks in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 358).

[22:22]  ⁸ sn See the note on Lev 21:20 above.

[22:22]  ⁹ sn This term for offering “gift” is explained in the note on Lev 1:9.

[22:27]  ⁸ tn The words “the care of” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied. Although many modern English versions render “with its mother” (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT), the literal phrase “under its mother” refers to the young animal nursing from its mother. Cf. KJV, ASV “it shall be seven days under the dam,” which would probably be misunderstood.

[22:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “for an offering of a gift.”

[23:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “And you shall present on the bread.”

[23:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “seven flawless lambs, sons of a year.”

[23:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and one bull, a son of a herd.”

[23:18]  ¹² tc Smr and LXX add “flawless.”

[23:18]  ¹³ tn Heb “and their grain offering.”

[23:18]  ¹⁴ sn See the note on Lev 1:9.
