Footnotes

9 Grk “the second tent.”
10 Or perhaps “the unintentional sins of the people”; Grk “the ignorances of the people.” Cf. ἀγνόημα, “sin committed in ignorance/unintentionally.” This term seems to be simply a synonym for “sins” (cf. Heb 5:2) and does not pick up the distinction made in Num 15:22–31 between unwitting sin and “high-handed” sin. The Day of Atonement ritual in Lev 16 covered all the sins of the people, not just the unwitting ones.
