Leviticus 5:12-13

5:12 He must bring it to the priest and the priest must scoop out from it a handful as its memorial portion ¹  and offer it up in smoke on the altar on top of the other gifts of the Lord – it is a sin offering. 5:13 So the priest will make atonement ²  on his behalf for his sin which he has committed by doing one of these things, ³  and he will be forgiven. ⁴  The remainder of the offering ⁵  will belong to the priest like the grain offering.’” ⁶ 

Leviticus 13:5

13:5 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if, ⁷  as far as he can see, the infection has stayed the same ⁸  and has not spread on the skin, ⁹  then the priest is to quarantine the person for another seven days. ¹⁰ 

Leviticus 13:7

13:7 If, however, the scab is spreading further ¹¹  on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his purification, then he must show himself to the priest a second time.

Leviticus 13:20-21

13:20 The priest will then examine it, ¹²  and if ¹³  it appears to be deeper than the skin ¹⁴  and its hair has turned white, then the priest is to pronounce the person unclean. ¹⁵  It is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil. ¹⁶  13:21 If, however, ¹⁷  the priest examines it, and ¹⁸  there is no white hair in it, it is not deeper than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days. ¹⁹ 

Leviticus 13:26-27

13:26 If, however, ²⁰  the priest examines it and ²¹  there is no white hair in the bright spot, it is not deeper than the skin, ²²  and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days. ²³  13:27 The priest must then examine it on the seventh day, and if it is spreading further ²⁴  on the skin, then the priest is to pronounce him unclean. It is a diseased infection. ²⁵ 

Leviticus 13:36

13:36 then the priest is to examine it, and if ²⁶  the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. ²⁷  The person ²⁸  is unclean.

Leviticus 14:3

14:3 The priest is to go outside the camp and examine the infection. ²⁹  If the infection of the diseased person has been healed, ³⁰ 

Leviticus 14:18

14:18 and the remainder of the olive oil ³¹  that is in his hand the priest is to put on the head of the one being cleansed. So the priest is to make atonement for him before the Lord.

Leviticus 14:24

14:24 and the priest is to take the male lamb of the guilt offering and the log of olive oil and wave them ³²  as a wave offering before the Lord.

Leviticus 15:15

15:15 and the priest is to make one of them a sin offering ³³  and the other a burnt offering. ³⁴  So the priest ³⁵  is to make atonement for him before the Lord for ³⁶  his discharge.

Leviticus 15:30

15:30 and the priest is to make one a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. ³⁷  So the priest ³⁸  is to make atonement for her before the Lord from her discharge of impurity.

Leviticus 23:20

23:20 and the priest is to wave them – the two lambs ³⁹  – along with the bread of the first fruits, as a wave offering before the Lord; they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

[5:12]  ¹ sn The “memorial portion” (אַזְכָּרָה, ’azkkarah) was the part of the grain offering that was burnt on the altar (Lev 2:2), as opposed to the remainder, which was normally consumed by the priests (Lev 2:3; see the full regulations in Lev 6:14-23 [6:7-16 HT]). 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).

[5:13]  ² sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[5:13]  ³ tn Heb “from one from these,” referring to the four kinds of violations of the law delineated in Lev 5:1-4 (see the note on Lev 5:5 above and cf. Lev 4:27).

[5:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[5:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “and it”; the referent (the remaining portion of the offering) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “and it shall be to the priest like the grain offering,” referring to the rest of the grain that was not offered on the altar (cf. the regulations in Lev 2:3, 10).

[13:5]  ³ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV).

[13:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “the infection has stood in his eyes”; ASV “if in his eyes the plague be at a stay.”

[13:5]  ⁵ tn Although there is no expressed “and” at the beginning of this clause, there is in the corresponding clause of v. 6, so it should be assumed here as well.

[13:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “a second seven days.”

[13:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “And if spreading [infinitive absolute] it spreads [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[13:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the priest shall see.” The pronoun “it” is unexpressed, but it should be assumed and it refers to the infection (cf. the note on v. 8 above).

[13:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “and behold its appearance is low (שָׁפָל, shafal) ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, “lower than”) the skin.” Compare “deeper” in v. 3 above where, however, a different word is used (עָמֹק, ’amoq), and see the note on “swelling” in v. 1 above (cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 192; note that, contrary to the MT, Tg. Onq. has עָמֹק in this verse as well as v. 4). The alternation of these two terms (i.e., “deeper” and “lower”) in vv. 25-26 below shows that they both refer to the same phenomenon. Some have argued that “this sore was lower than the surrounding skin” (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:773, 788), in which case “swelling” would be an inappropriate translation of שְׂאֵת (sÿ’et) in v. 19. It seems unlikely, however, that the surface of a “boil” would sink below the surface of the surrounding skin. The infectious pus etc. that makes up a boil normally causes swelling.

[13:20]  ⁸ tn The declarative Piel of the verb טָמֵא (tame’, cf. the note on v. 3 above).

[13:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “It is an infection of disease. In the boil it has broken out.” For the rendering “diseased infection” see the note on v. 2 above.

[13:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “and if.”

[13:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV, NASB).

[13:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the priest will shut him up seven days.”

[13:26]  ⁷ tn Heb “and if.”

[13:26]  ⁸ tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “and indeed.”

[13:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “and low it is not ‘from’ (comparative מִן, min, “lower than”) the skin.” See the note on v. 20 above. Cf. TEV “not deeper than the surrounding skin.”

[13:26]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the priest will shut him up seven days.”

[13:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “is indeed spreading.”

[13:27]  ⁹ tn For the rendering “diseased infection” see the note on v. 2 above.

[13:36]  ⁹ tn Heb “and behold.”

[13:36]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the priest shall not search to the reddish yellow hair.”

[13:36]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the affected person) is specified in the translation for clarity (likewise in the following verse).

[14:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he shall be brought to the priest and the priest shall go out to from outside to the camp and the priest shall see [it].” The understood “it” refers to the skin infection itself (see the note on 13:3 above). The referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “And behold, the diseased infection has been healed from the diseased person.” The expression “diseased infection” has been translated as simply “infection” to avoid redundancy here in terms of English style.

[14:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the remainder in the oil.”

[14:24]  ¹² tn Heb “and the priest shall wave them.” In the present translation “priest” is not repeated a second time in the verse for stylistic reasons. With regard to the “waving” of the “wave offering,” see the note on v. 12 above.

[15:15]  ¹³ sn See the note on Lev 4:3 regarding the term “sin offering.”

[15:15]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and the priest shall make them one a sin offering and the one a burnt offering.” See the note on Lev 1:3 regarding the “burnt offering.”

[15:15]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And the priest.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[15:15]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “from”; see the note on 4:26.

[15:30]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “And the priest shall make the one a sin offering and the one a burnt offering.”

[15:30]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And the priest.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[23:20]  ¹⁵ tn Smr and LXX have the Hebrew article on “lambs.” The syntax of this verse is difficult. The object of the verb (two lambs) is far removed from the verb itself (shall wave) in the MT, and the preposition עַל (’al, “upon”), rendered “along with” in this verse, is also added to the far removed subject (literally, “upon [the] two lambs”; see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 159). It is clear, however, that the two lambs and the loaves (along with their associated grain and drink offerings) constituted the “wave offering,” which served as the prebend “for the priest.” Burnt and sin offerings (vv. 18-19a) were not included in this (see Lev 7:11-14, 28-36).
