Imamat 4:8

4:8 “‘Then he must take up all the fat from the sin offering bull: ¹  the fat covering the entrails ²  and all the fat surrounding the entrails, ³ 

Imamat 4:14

4:14 the assembly must present a young bull for a sin offering when the sin they have committed ⁴  becomes known. They must bring it before the Meeting Tent,

Imamat 4:20-21

4:20 He must do with the rest of the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; this is what he must do with it. ⁵  So the priest will make atonement ⁶  on their behalf and they will be forgiven. ⁷  4:21 He ⁸  must bring the rest of the bull outside the camp ⁹  and burn it just as he burned the first bull – it is the sin offering of the assembly.

Imamat 4:24

4:24 He must lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter ¹⁰  it in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord – it is a sin offering.

Imamat 4:34

4:34 Then the priest must take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and he must pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

Imamat 5:8

5:8 He must bring them to the priest and present first the one that is for a sin offering. The priest ¹¹  must pinch ¹²  its head at the nape of its neck, but must not sever the head from the body. ¹³ 

Imamat 6:26

6:26 The priest who offers it for sin is to eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Meeting Tent.

Imamat 8:2

8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, the sin offering bull, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

Imamat 9:2

9:2 and said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a bull calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both flawless, and present them before the Lord.

Imamat 9:10

9:10 The fat and the kidneys and the protruding lobe of ¹⁴  the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar just as the Lord had commanded Moses,

Imamat 9:22

9:22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them and descended from making the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering.

Imamat 10:16-17

The Problem with the Inaugural Sin Offering

10:16 Later Moses sought diligently for the sin offering male goat, ¹⁵  but it had actually been burnt. ¹⁶  So he became angry at Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, saying, 10:17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering in the sanctuary? For it is most holy and he gave it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, ¹⁷  to make atonement on their behalf before the Lord.

Imamat 14:22

14:22 and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, ¹⁸  which are within his means. ¹⁹  One will be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. ²⁰ 

Imamat 16:3

Day of Atonement Offerings

16:3 “In this way Aaron is to enter into the sanctuary – with a young bull ²¹  for a sin offering ²²  and a ram for a burnt offering. ²³ 

Imamat 16:5

16:5 He must also take ²⁴  two male goats ²⁵  from the congregation of the Israelites for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

Imamat 23:19

23:19 You must also offer ²⁶  one male goat ²⁷  for a sin offering and two yearling lambs for a peace offering sacrifice,

[4:8]  ¹ tn Heb “all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall take up from it.”

[4:8]  ² tc The MT has here the preposition עַל (’al, “on, upon” [i.e., “which covers on the entrails,” as awkward in Hebrew as it is in English]), but Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Targums read אֶת (’et), which is what would be expected (i.e., “which covers the entrails”; cf. Lev 3:3, 9, 14). It may have been mistakenly inserted here under the influence of “on (עַל) the entrails” at the end of the verse.

[4:8]  ³ tn Heb “and all the fat on the entrails.” The fat layer that covers the entrails as a whole (i.e., “that covers the entrails”) is different from the fat that surrounds and adheres to the various organs (“on the entrails,” i.e., surrounding them; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:205-7).

[4:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the sin which they committed on it becomes known”; KJV “which they have sinned against it.” The Hebrew עָלֶיהָ (’aleha, “on it”) probably refers back to “one of the commandments” in v. 13 (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:243).

[4:20]  ⁵ sn Cf. Lev 4:11-12 above for the disposition of “the [rest of] the bull.”

[4:20]  ⁶ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[4:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to them” or “it shall be forgiven to them.”

[4:21]  ⁸ sn See the note on the word “slaughter” in v. 15.

[4:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “And he shall bring out the bull to from outside to the camp.”

[4:24]  ¹⁰ tn The LXX has a plural form here and also for the same verb later in the verse. See the note on Lev 1:5a.

[5:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he.” The subject (“he”) refers to the priest here, not the offerer who presented the birds to the priest (cf. v. 8a).

[5:8]  ¹² sn The action seems to involve both a twisting action, breaking the neck of the bird and severing its vertebrae, as well as pinching or nipping the skin, but in this case not severing the head from the main body (note the rest of this verse).

[5:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “he shall not divide [it]” (see J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:305).

[9:10]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “from.”

[10:16]  ¹⁵ sn This is the very same male goat offered in Lev 9:15 (cf. the note on Lev 10:1 above).

[10:16]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “but behold, it had been burnt” (KJV and NASB both similar).

[10:17]  ¹⁷ sn This translation is quite literal. On the surface it appears to mean that the priests would “bear the iniquity” of the congregation by the act of eating the sin offering (so J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:622-25, 635-40). Such a notion is, however, found nowhere else in the Levitical regulations and seems unlikely (so J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 136). A more likely interpretation is reflected in this interpretive rendering: “he gave it to you [as payment] for [your work of] bearing the iniquity of the congregation.” The previous section of the chapter deals with the prebends that the priests received for performing the ministry of the tabernacle (Lev 10:12-15). Lev 10:16-18, therefore, seems to continue the very same topic in the light of the most immediate situation (see R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:702-4).

[14:22]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “from the sons of the pigeon,” referring either to “young pigeons” or “various species of pigeon” (contrast J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:168 with J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 14; cf. Lev 1:14 and esp. 5:7-10).

[14:22]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “which his hand reaches”; NRSV “such as (which NIV) he can afford.”

[14:22]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and one shall be a sin offering and the one a burnt offering.” The versions struggle with whether or not “one” should or should not have the definite article in its two occurrences in this verse (KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB all have the English definite article with both). The MT has the first without and the second with the article.

[16:3]  ²¹ tn Heb “with a bull, a son of the herd.”

[16:3]  ²² sn See the note on Lev 4:3 regarding the term “sin offering.”

[16:3]  ²³ sn For the “burnt offering” see the note on Lev 1:3.

[16:5]  ²⁴ tn Heb “And he shall take.”

[16:5]  ²⁵ tn Heb “he-goats of goats”; CEV “two goats, both of them males.”

[23:19]  ²⁶ tn Heb “And you shall make.”

[23:19]  ²⁷ tn Heb “a he-goat of goats.”
