The Sacrilege of the Priestly Message

2:1 “Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.

[1:5]  ¹ tn Or “Great is the Lord” (so NAB; similar NIV, NRSV).

[1:12]  ² tn Heb “fruit.” The following word “food” in the Hebrew text (אָכְלוֹ, ’okhlo) appears to be an explanatory gloss to clarify the meaning of the rare word נִיב (niv, “fruit”; see Isa 57:19 Qere; נוֹב, nov, “fruit,” in Kethib). Cf. ASV “the fruit thereof, even its food.” In this cultic context the reference is to the offerings on the altar.
