Leviticus 9:13

9:13 The burnt offering itself they handed ¹  to him by its parts, including the head, ²  and he offered them up in smoke on the altar,

Leviticus 9:17

9:17 Next he presented the grain offering, filled his hand with some of it, and offered it up in smoke on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering. ³ 

Leviticus 9:20

9:20 they ⁴  set those on the breasts and he offered the fat parts up in smoke on the altar.

[9:13]  ¹ tn See the note on v. 12.

[9:13]  ² tn Heb “and the burnt offering they handed to him to its parts and the head.”

[9:17]  ³ sn The latter part of the verse (“in addition to the morning burnt offering”) refers to the complex of morning (and evening) burnt and grain offerings that was the daily regulation for the tabernacle from the time of its erection (Exod 40:29). The regulations for it were appended to the end of the section of priestly consecration regulations in Exod 29 (see Exod 29:38-40) precisely because they were to be maintained throughout the priestly consecration period and beyond (Lev 8:33-36). Thus, the morning burnt and grain offerings would already have been placed on the altar before the inaugural burnt and grain offerings referred to here.

[9:20]  ⁵ tn The plural “they” refers to the sons of Aaron (cf. v. 18). The LXX, Smr, and Syriac have singular “he,” referring to Aaron alone as in the latter half of the verse (the singular is followed here by NLT). Cf. NCV “Aaron’s sons put them.”
