Imamat 9:3

9:3 Then tell the Israelites: ‘Take a male goat ¹  for a sin offering and a calf and lamb, both a year old and flawless, ²  for a burnt offering,

Imamat 10:14

10:14 Also, the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution offering you must eat in a ceremonially ³  clean place, you and your sons and daughters with you, for they have been given as your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from the peace offering sacrifices of the Israelites. ⁴ 

Imamat 10:17

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, ⁵  to make atonement on their behalf before the Lord.

Imamat 16:18

16:18 “Then ⁶  he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He is to take ⁷  some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it all around on the horns of the altar.

Imamat 17:14

17:14 for the life of all flesh is its blood. ⁸  So I have said to the Israelites: You must not eat the blood of any living thing ⁹  because the life of every living thing is its blood – all who eat it will be cut off. ¹⁰ 

Imamat 19:10

19:10 You must not pick your vineyard bare, ¹¹  and you must not gather up the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You must leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.

Imamat 20:2

20:2 “You are to say to the Israelites, ‘Any man from the Israelites or from the foreigners who reside in Israel ¹²  who gives any of his children ¹³  to Molech ¹⁴  must be put to death; the people of the land must pelt him with stones. ¹⁵ 

Imamat 22:22

22:22 “‘You must not present to the Lord something blind, or with a broken bone, or mutilated, or with a running sore, ¹⁶  or with a festering eruption, or with a feverish rash. ¹⁷  You must not give any of these as a gift ¹⁸  on the altar to the Lord.

Imamat 23:3

The Weekly Sabbath

23:3 “‘Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, ¹⁹  a holy assembly. You must not do any work; it is a Sabbath to the Lord in all the places where you live.

Imamat 23:18

23:18 Along with the loaves of bread, ²⁰  you must also present seven flawless yearling lambs, ²¹  one young bull, ²²  and two rams. ²³  They are to be a burnt offering to the Lord along with their grain offering ²⁴  and drink offerings, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord. ²⁵ 

Imamat 27:28

Things Permanently Dedicated to the Lord

27:28 “‘Surely anything which a man permanently dedicates to the Lord ²⁶  from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the Lord.

[9:3]  ¹ tn Heb “a he-goat of goats.”

[9:3]  ² tn Heb “and a calf and a lamb, sons of a year, flawless”; KJV, ASV, NRSV “without blemish”; NASB, NIV “without defect”; NLT “with no physical defects.”

[10:14]  ³ tn The word “ceremonially” has been supplied in the translation to clarify that the cleanness of the place specified is ritual or ceremonial in nature.

[10:14]  ⁴ sn Cf. Lev 7:14, 28-34 for these regulations.

[10:17]  ⁵ 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).

[16:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) indicates the sequence of events here.

[16:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “And he shall take.”

[17:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “for the life/soul (נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh) of all flesh, its blood in its life/soul (נֶפֶשׁ) it is.” The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate leave out “in its life/soul,” which would naturally yield “for the life of all flesh, its blood it is” (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 261, 263). The present translation is something of an oversimplification, but the meaning is basically the same in any case. Cf. NRSV “For the life of every creature – its blood is its life.”

[17:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “of all flesh” (also later in this verse). See the note on “every living thing” in v. 11.

[17:14]  ¹⁰ tn For remarks on the “cut off” penalty see the note on v. 4 above.

[19:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “And you shall not deal severely with your vineyard.”

[20:2]  ¹² tn Heb “or from the sojourner who sojourns”; NAB “an alien residing in Israel.”

[20:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “his seed” (so KJV, ASV); likewise in vv. 3-4.

[20:2]  ¹⁴ tn Regarding Molech and Molech worship see the note on Lev 18:21.

[20:2]  ¹⁵ tn This is not the most frequently-used Hebrew verb for stoning (see instead סָקַל, saqal), but a word that refers to the action of throwing, slinging, or pelting someone with stones (רָגָם, ragam; see HALOT 1187 s.v. רגם qal.a, and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 136).

[22:22]  ¹⁶ tn Or perhaps “a wart” (cf. NIV; HALOT 383 s.v. יַבֶּלֶת, but see the remarks in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 358).

[22:22]  ¹⁷ sn See the note on Lev 21:20 above.

[22:22]  ¹⁸ sn This term for offering “gift” is explained in the note on Lev 1:9.

[23:3]  ¹⁹ tn This is a superlative expression, emphasizing the full and all inclusive rest of the Sabbath and certain festival times throughout the chapter (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 155). Cf. ASV “a sabbath of solemn rest.”

[23:18]  ²⁰ tn Heb “And you shall present on the bread.”

[23:18]  ²¹ tn Heb “seven flawless lambs, sons of a year.”

[23:18]  ²² tn Heb “and one bull, a son of a herd.”

[23:18]  ²³ tc Smr and LXX add “flawless.”

[23:18]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and their grain offering.”

[23:18]  ²⁵ sn See the note on Lev 1:9.

[27:28]  ²⁶ tn Heb “Surely, any permanently dedicated [thing] which a man shall permanently dedicate to the Lord.” The Hebrew term חֵרֶם (kherem) refers to things that are devoted permanently to the Lord (see the note on v. 21 above).
