Imamat 5:12

5:12 He must bring it to the priest and the priest must scoop out from it a handful as its memorial portion ¹  and offer it up in smoke on the altar on top of the other gifts of the Lord – it is a sin offering.

Imamat 17:5

17:5 This is so that ²  the Israelites will bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing in the open field ³  to the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent to the priest and sacrifice them there as peace offering sacrifices to the Lord.

Imamat 22:3

22:3 Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, ⁴  if any man from all your descendants approaches the holy offerings which the Israelites consecrate ⁵  to the Lord while he is impure, ⁶  that person must be cut off from before me. ⁷  I am the Lord.

Imamat 23:17

23:17 From the places where you live you must bring two loaves of ⁸  bread for a wave offering; they must be made from two tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour, baked with yeast, ⁹  as first fruits to the Lord.

Imamat 27:8

27:8 If he is too poor to pay the conversion value, he must stand the person before the priest and the priest will establish his conversion value; ¹⁰  according to what the man who made the vow can afford, ¹¹  the priest will establish his conversion value.

[5:12]  ¹ sn The “memorial portion” (אַזְכָּרָה, ’azkkarah) was the part of the grain offering that was burnt on the altar (Lev 2:2), as opposed to the remainder, which was normally consumed by the priests (Lev 2:3; see the full regulations in Lev 6:14-23 [6:7-16 HT]). It was probably intended to call to mind (i.e., memorialize) before the Lord the reason for the presentation of the particular offering (see the remarks in R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:335-39).

[17:5]  ² tn Heb “So that which.”

[17:5]  ³ tn Heb “on the faces of the field.”

[22:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “To your generations.”

[22:3]  ⁵ tn The Piel (v. 2) and Hiphil (v. 3) forms of the verb קָדַשׁ (qadash) appear to be interchangeable in this context. Both mean “to consecrate” (Heb “make holy [or “sacred”]”).

[22:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “and his impurity [is] on him”; NIV “is ceremonially unclean”; NAB, NRSV “while he is in a state of uncleanness.”

[22:3]  ⁷ sn Regarding the “cut off” penalty, see the note on Lev 7:20. Cf. the interpretive translation of TEV “he can never again serve at the altar.”

[23:17]  ⁸ tc Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., and Tg. Ps.-J. insert the word חַלּוֹת (khallot, “loaves”; cf. Lev 2:4 and the note there). Even though “loaves” is not explicit in the MT, the number “two” suggests that these are discrete units, not just a measure of flour, so “loaves” should be assumed even in the MT.

[23:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “with leaven.” The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.

[27:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the priest shall cause him to be valued.”

[27:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “on the mouth which the hand of the one who vowed reaches.”
