Leviticus 16:7

16:7 He must then take the two goats ⁶  and stand them before the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent,

[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “from the blood of the bull” (and similarly throughout this chapter).

[14:15]  ² tn Heb “And the priest…shall pour on the left hand of the priest.” As the Rabbis observe, the repetition of “priest” as the expressed subject of both verbs in this verse may suggest that two priests were involved in this ritual (see m. Nega’im 14:8, referred to by J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:852), but the seemingly unnecessary repetition of “priest” in several verses throughout the chapter argues against this (see esp. vv. 3, 14, 18, 20, 24, and 26). Moreover, in this case, “priest” may be repeated to avoid confusing the priest’s hand with that of the one being cleansed (cf. v. 14).

[14:49]  ³ tn The pronoun “he” refers to the priest mentioned in the previous verse.

[14:49]  ⁴ tn Regarding these ritual materials, see the note on v. 4 above.

[14:49]  ⁵ tn Regarding the Piel of חָטָא (khata’, cf. v. 52) meaning to “decontaminate” or “perform a decontamination,” see the notes on Lev 8:15 and 9:15.

[16:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “the two he-goats,” referred to as “two he-goats of goats” in v. 5.
