8:12When17 the Levites lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, offer18 the one for a purification offering and the other for a whole burnt offering to the Lord,19 to make atonement for the Levites.
Footnotes
- 17 The clause begins with a vav (ו) on the noun “the Levites,” indicating a disjunctive clause. Here it is clearly a subordinate clause prior to the instruction for Moses, and so translated as a circumstantial clause of time.
- 18 The imperative is from the verb “to do; to make,” but in the sentence it clearly means to sacrifice the animals.
- 19 The “purification offering” cleansed the tabernacle from impurity, and the burnt offering atoned by nullifying and removing the effects of sin in the Levites.
