[7:11]  ¹ tn This “he” pronoun refers to the offerer. Smr and LXX have plural “they.”

[7:17]  ² tn Heb “burned with fire,” an expression which is sometimes redundant in English, but here means “burned up,” “burned up entirely” (likewise in v. 19).

[7:32]  ³ tn Older English versions (e.g., KJV, ASV) translate this Hebrew term (תְּרוּמָה, tÿrumah) “heave offering,” derived from the idea of “to raise, to lift” found in the verbal root (cf. NAB “a raised offering”). “Contribution offering” is a better English rendering because it refers to something “taken out from” (i.e., “lifted up from”; cf. the Hebrew term הֵרִים (herim) in, e.g., Lev 2:9; 4:8, etc.) the offering as a special contribution to the specific priest who presided over the offering procedures in any particular instance (see the next verse and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 4:335-37). Cf. TEV “as a special contribution”; NCV, NLT “as a gift.”

[19:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “for your acceptance”; cf. NIV, NLT “it will be accepted on your behalf.”

[22:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “for your acceptance” (see the notes on Lev 1:3-4 and 22:19 above).
