Leviticus 2:6

2:6 Crumble it in pieces ¹  and pour olive oil on it – it is a grain offering.

Leviticus 14:27

14:27 and sprinkle some of the olive oil that is in his left hand with his right forefinger ²  seven times before the Lord.

[2:6]  ¹ tn There is no vav (ו, “and”) in the MT at the beginning of v. 6 and the verb is pointed as an infinite absolute. The present translation has rendered it as an imperative (see GKC 346 §113.bb) and, therefore, the same for the following vav consecutive perfect verb (cf. NIV “Crumble it and pour oil on it”; cf. also NRSV, NEB, NLT, and J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:185, but note the objections to this rendering in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 26). The LXX seems to suggest adding a vav (“and”) and pointing the verb as a consecutive perfect, which yields “and you shall break it in pieces” (cf. the BHS textual note; Hartley, 26, prefers the LXX rendering).

[14:27]  ² tn Heb “and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger from the oil which is on his left hand.”
