Imamat 5:6

5:6 and he must bring his penalty for guilt ¹  to the Lord for his sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, whether a female sheep or a female goat, for a sin offering. So the priest will make atonement ²  on his behalf for ³  his sin.

Imamat 22:4

22:4 No man ⁴  from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge ⁵  may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one ⁶  who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person, ⁷  or a man who has a seminal emission, ⁸ 

[5:6]  ¹ tn In this context the word for “guilt” (אָשָׁם, ’asham) refers to the “penalty” for incurring guilt, the so-called consequential אָשָׁם (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:303; cf. the note on Lev 5:1).

[5:6]  ² sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[5:6]  ³ tn See the note on 4:26 regarding the use of מִן (min).

[22:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.), but with a negative command it means “No man” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 147).

[22:4]  ⁵ sn The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13-15.

[22:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “And the one.”

[22:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on Lev 19:28.

[22:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”
