Imamat 9:12

The Burnt Offering for the Priests

Imamat 24:21

24:21 One who beats an animal to death ⁸  must make restitution for it, but ⁹  one who beats a person to death must be put to death.

[4:29]  ¹ tc The LXX has a plural form here (see v. 24 above and the note on Lev 1:5a).

[7:2]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the officiating priest) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This priest was responsible for any actions involving direct contact with the altar (e.g., the splashing of the blood).

[7:2]  ³ tn See the note on Lev 1:5.

[7:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “and any blood you must not eat in any of your dwelling places, to the bird and to the animal.”

[9:12]  ⁵ tn For smoothness in the English translation, “his” was used in place of “Aaron’s.”

[9:12]  ⁶ tn The verb is a Hiphil form of מָצָא, matsa’, “to find” (i.e., causative, literally “to cause to find,” but here the meaning is “to hand to” or “pass to”; see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 117-18, and J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:581-82). The distinction between this verb and “presented” in v. 9 above (see the note there) is that in v. 9 Aaron’s sons held the bowl while Aaron manipulated some of the blood at the altar, while here in v. 12 they simply handed the bowl to him so he could splash all the blood around on the altar (Milgrom, 581).

[9:12]  ⁷ tn For “splashed” (also in v. 18) see the note on Lev 1:5.

[24:21]  ⁸ sn See the note on v. 18 above.

[24:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “and,” but here the Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) is adversative, contrasting the consequences of beating an animal to death with those of beating a person to death.
