[1:6]  ¹ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (the offerer) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The LXX and Smr have “they” rather than “he” in both halves of this verse, suggesting that the priests, not the offerer, were to skin and cut the carcass of the bull into pieces (cf. the notes on vv. 5a and 9a).

[4:19]  ² tn Heb “Then he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. Based on the parallel statement in 4:10 and 4:31, it is the priest who performs this action rather than the person who brought the offering.

[4:19]  ³ tn Heb “take up all its fat from it”; NASB “shall remove all its fat from it.”

[4:19]  sn See the full discussion of the fat regulations in Lev 4:8-9 above.

[4:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the fat) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Only the fat is meant here, since the “rest” of the bull is mentioned in v. 21.

[25:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “You shall not rule in him in violence”; cf. NASB “with severity”; NIV “ruthlessly.”
