Footnotes

  1. 90 The pronoun “he” refers to the priest mentioned in the previous verse.
  2. 91 Regarding these ritual materials, see the note on v. above.
  3. 92 Regarding the Piel of חָטָא (khata’, cf. v. 52) meaning to “decontaminate” or “perform a decontamination,” see the notes on and . In Lev 8:15, for example, the “sin offering” is used to “decontaminate” the burnt offering altar. As argued above (see the note on v. above), these ritual materials and the procedures performed with them do not constitute a “sin offering” (contrast vv. 19 and 31 above). In fact, no sin offering was required for the purification of a house.
