Imamat 10:16

The Problem with the Inaugural Sin Offering

10:16 Later Moses sought diligently for the sin offering male goat, ¹  but it had actually been burnt. ²  So he became angry at Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, saying,

Imamat 19:6

19:6 It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and on the following day, ³  but what is left over until the third day must be burned up. ⁴ 

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

[10:16]  ² tn Heb “but behold, it had been burnt” (KJV and NASB both similar).

[19:6]  ³ tn Heb “from the following day” (HALOT 572 s.v. מָחֳרָת 2.b).

[19:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “shall be burned with fire”; KJV “shall be burnt in the fire.” Because “to burn with fire” is redundant in contemporary English the present translation simply has “must be burned up.”
