Imamat 4:24

4:24 He must lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter ¹  it in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord – it is a sin offering.

Imamat 4:33

4:33 He must lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

Imamat 7:2

7:2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they must slaughter the guilt offering, and the officiating priest ²  must splash ³  the blood against the altar’s sides.

Imamat 17:3

17:3 “Blood guilt ⁴  will be accounted to any man ⁵  from the house of Israel ⁶  who slaughters an ox or a lamb or a goat inside the camp or outside the camp, ⁷ 

[4:24]  ¹ 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.

[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.

[17:3]  ⁴ tn The complex wording of vv. 3-4 requires stating “blood guilt” at the beginning of v. 3 even though it is not mentioned until the middle of v. 4. The Hebrew text has simply “blood,” but in this case it refers to the illegitimate shedding of animal blood, similar to the shedding of the blood of an innocent human being (Deut 19:10, etc.). In order for it to be legitimate the animal must be slaughtered at the tabernacle and its blood handled by the priests in the prescribed way (see, e.g., Lev 1:5; 3:2, 17; 4:5-7; 7:26-27, etc.; cf. vv. 10-16 below for more details).

[17:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 22:18, etc.). See the note on Lev 15:2.

[17:3]  ⁶ tn The original LXX adds “or the sojourners who sojourn in your midst” (cf. Lev 16:29, etc., and note esp. 17:8, 10, and 13 below).

[17:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “or who slaughters from outside to the camp.”
