[27:13] 1 tn Heb “And if redeeming [infinitive absolute] he redeems it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p. The referent of “he” (the person who made the vow) and “it” (the animal) have both been specified in the translation for clarity.
[27:13] 2 tn Heb “on,” meaning “on top of, in addition to” (likewise in v. 15).
[5:16] 3 tn Heb “and which he sinned from the holy thing.”
[5:16] 4 sn Regarding “make atonement” see the note on Lev 1:4.
[5:16] 5 tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).
