Imamat 4:6

4:6 The priest must dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle ¹  some of it ²  seven times before the Lord toward ³  the front of the veil-canopy ⁴  of the sanctuary.

Imamat 10:4

10:4 Moses then called to Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and said to them, “Come near, carry your brothers away from the front of the sanctuary to a place outside the camp.”

Imamat 10:7

10:7 but you must not go out from the entrance of the Meeting Tent lest you die, for the Lord’s anointing oil is on you.” So they acted according to the word of Moses.

Imamat 21:12

21:12 He must not go out from the sanctuary and must not profane ⁵  the sanctuary of his God, because the dedication of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the Lord.

Imamat 21:23

21:23 but he must not go into the veil-canopy ⁶  or step forward to the altar because he has a physical flaw. Thus ⁷  he must not profane my holy places, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”

[4:6]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb וְהִזָּה (vÿhizzah, Hiphil of נָזָה, nazah) does indeed mean “sprinkle” or “splatter.” Contrast the different Hebrew verb meaning “splash” in Lev 1:5 (זָרָק, zaraq).

[4:6]  ² tn Heb “of the blood.” The relative pronoun (“it”) has been used in the translation here for stylistic reasons.

[4:6]  ³ tn The particle here translated “toward” usually serves as a direct object indicator or a preposition meaning “with.” With the verb of motion it probably means “toward,” “in the direction of” (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:234; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 60); cf. NAB, CEV.

[4:6]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term פָּרֹכֶת (parokhet) is usually translated “veil” (e.g., ASV, NAB, NASB) or “curtain” (e.g., NIV, NRSV), but it seems to have stretched not only in front of but also over the top of the ark of the covenant which stood behind and under it inside the most holy place (see R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 3:687-89).

[21:12]  ⁵ sn Regarding “profane,” see the note on Lev 10:10 above.

[21:23]  ⁶ sn See the note on Lev 16:2 for the rendering “veil-canopy.”

[21:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
