Leviticus 7:8

Priestly Portions of Burnt and Grain Offerings

7:8 “‘As for the priest who presents someone’s burnt offering, the hide of that burnt offering which he presented belongs to him.

Leviticus 7:35

7:35 This is the allotment of Aaron and the allotment of his sons from the Lord’s gifts on the day Moses ¹  presented them to serve as priests ²  to the Lord.

Leviticus 14:35

14:35 then whoever owns the house ³  must come and declare to the priest, ‘Something like an infection is visible to me in the house.’

Leviticus 22:14

22:14 “‘If a man eats a holy offering by mistake, ⁴  he must add one fifth to it and give the holy offering to the priest. ⁵ 

Leviticus 27:21

27:21 When it reverts ⁶  in the jubilee, the field will be holy to the Lord like a permanently dedicated field; ⁷  it will become the priest’s property. ⁸ 

[7:35]  ¹ tn Heb “the day he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:35]  ² tn Heb “in the day of he presented them to serve as priests to the Lord.” The grammar here is relatively unusual. First, the verb “presented” appears to be in the perfect rather than the infinitive (but see GKC 531), the latter being normal in such temporal expressions. Second, the active verb form appears to be used as a passive plural (“they were presented”). However, if it is translated active and singular then Moses would be the subject: “on the day he [Moses] offered them [Aaron and his sons].”

[14:35]  ¹ tn Heb “who to him the house.”

[22:14]  ¹ tn Heb “And a man, if he eats a holy thing in error” (see the Lev 4:2 not on “straying,” which is the term rendered “by mistake” here).

[22:14]  ² sn When a person trespassed in regard to something sacred to the Lord, reparation was to be made for the trespass, involving restitution of that which was violated plus one fifth of its value as a fine. It is possible that the restoration of the offering and the additional one fifth of its value were made as a monetary payment (see, e.g., B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 150). See the regulations for the “guilt offering” in Lev 5:16; 6:5 [5:24 HT] and the notes there.

[27:21]  ¹ tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).

[27:21]  ² tn Heb “like the field of the permanent dedication.” The Hebrew word חֵרֶם (kherem) is a much discussed term. In this and the following verses it refers in a general way to the fact that something is permanently devoted to the Lord and therefore cannot be redeemed (cf. v. 20b). See J. A. Naudé, NIDOTTE 2:276-77; N. Lohfink, TDOT 5:180-99, esp. pp. 184, 188, and 198-99; and the numerous explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 483-85.

[27:21]  ³ tn Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”
