Leviticus 7:12-15

7:12 If he presents it on account of thanksgiving, ¹  along with the thank offering sacrifice he must present unleavened loaves mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers smeared with olive oil, ²  and well soaked ³  ring-shaped loaves made of choice wheat flour ⁴  mixed with olive oil. 7:13 He must present this grain offering ⁵  in addition to ring-shaped loaves of leavened bread which regularly accompany ⁶  the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offering. 7:14 He must present one of each kind of grain offering ⁷  as a contribution offering ⁸  to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the peace offering. 7:15 The meat of his ⁹  thanksgiving peace offering must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not set any of it aside until morning.

[7:12]  ¹ tn Or “for a thank offering.”

[7:12]  ² tn See the notes on Lev 2:4.

[7:12]  ³ tn See the note on Lev 6:21 [6:14 HT].

[7:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “choice wheat flour well soaked ring-shaped loaves.” See the note on Lev 2:1.

[7:13]  ⁵ tn The rendering “this [grain] offering” is more literally “his offering,” but it refers to the series of grain offerings listed just previously in v. 12.

[7:13]  ⁶ tn The words “which regularly accompany” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarity.

[7:14]  ⁷ tn Here the Hebrew text reads “offering” (קָרְבָּן, qorbban), not “grain offering” (מִנְחָה, minkhah), but in this context the term refers once again to the list in 7:12.

[7:14]  ⁸ tn The term rendered “contribution offering” is תְּרוּמָה (tÿrumah), which generally refers to that which is set aside from the offerings to the Lord as prebends for the officiating priests (cf. esp. Lev 7:28-34 and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 4:335-37). Cf. TEV “as a special contribution.”

[7:15]  ⁹ tn In the verse “his” refers to the offerer.
