Footnotes

  1. 18 Heb “and if his hand does not reach enough of a flock animal” (see the note on v. below). The term translated “animal from the flock” (שֶׂה, seh) is often translated “lamb” (e.g., , , , ) or “sheep” (e.g., , , ), but it clearly includes either a sheep or a goat here (cf. v. 6), referring to the smaller pasture animals as opposed to the larger ones (i.e., cattle; cf. 4:3). Some English versions use the more generic “animal” (e.g., , ).
  2. 19 Heb “and he shall bring his guilt which he sinned,” which is an abbreviated form of Lev 5:6, “and he shall bring his [penalty for] guilt to the Lord for his sin which he committed.” The words “for his sin” have been left out in v. 7, and “to the Lord” has been moved so that it follows the mention of the birds.
  3. 20 See the note on above.
