Footnotes

  1. 27 Heb “and he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. The “he” refers to the officiating priest. A similar shift between singular and plural occurs in Lev 1:7–9, but see the note on and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [], for the possibility of textual corruption.
  2. 28 Heb “shall take up from it with his hand some of the choice wheat flour of the grain offering.”
  3. 29 See the note on .
  4. 30 reading, which includes the locative ה (hey, translated “on” the altar), is preferred here. This is the normal construction with the verb “offer up in smoke” in Lev 1–7 (see the note on ).
  5. 31 Heb “and he shall offer up in smoke [on] the altar a soothing aroma, its memorial portion, to the Lord.”
