Footnotes

46 Heb “because seven days he shall fill your hands”; “for seven days shall he consecrate you”; “ends seven days from now.” It is apparent that the term for “ordination offering” (מִלֻּאִים, millu’im; cf. Lev 7:37 and the there) is closely related to the expression “he shall fill (Piel מִלֵּא, mille’) your hands” in this verse. Some derive the terminology from the procedure in Lev 8:27–28, but the term for “hands” there is actually “palms.” It seems more likely that it derives from the notion of putting the priestly responsibilities (or possibly its associated prebends) under their control (i.e., “filling their hands” with authority; see J. Milgrom, Leviticus [], 1:). The command “to keep the charge of the Lord” in v. 35 and the expression “by the hand of Moses” (i.e., under the authoritative hand of Moses, v. 36) may also support this interpretation.
47 Heb “just as he has done” (cf. the note on v. ).
48 Heb “the Lord has commanded to do” (cf. the note on v. ).
49 Heb “by the hand of” (so ).
