Footnotes

  1. 39 Heb “on the breast.”
  2. 40 Many Hebrew and some versions (esp. the ) limit the offerings in the last part of this verse to the fat portions, specifically, the fat and the fat lobe of the liver (see the footnote). The verse is somewhat awkward in Hebrew but nevertheless correct. Heb “the breast to wave it, a wave offering before the Lord.” Other possible translations are “to elevate the breast [as] an elevation offering before the Lord” (cf. ) or “to present the breast [as] a presentation offering before the Lord.” See J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (), , J. Milgrom, Leviticus (), 1:, , and R. E. Averbeck, 3:.
