Imamat 12:6

12:6 “‘When ¹  the days of her purification are completed for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb ²  for a burnt offering ³  and a young pigeon or turtledove for a sin offering ⁴  to the entrance of the Meeting Tent, to the priest.

Imamat 14:10

The Eighth Day Atonement Rituals

14:10 “On the eighth day he ⁵  must take two flawless male lambs, one flawless yearling female lamb, three-tenths of an ephah of choice wheat flour as a grain offering mixed with olive oil, ⁶  and one log of olive oil, ⁷ 

Imamat 23:18

23:18 Along with the loaves of bread, ⁸  you must also present seven flawless yearling lambs, ⁹  one young bull, ¹⁰  and two rams. ¹¹  They are to be a burnt offering to the Lord along with their grain offering ¹²  and drink offerings, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord. ¹³ 

[12:6]  ¹ tn Heb “And when” (so KJV, NASB). Many recent English versions leave the conjunction untranslated.

[12:6]  ² tn Heb “a lamb the son of his year”; KJV “a lamb of the first year” (NRSV “in its first year”); NAB “a yearling lamb.”

[12:6]  ³ sn See the note on Lev 1:3 regarding the “burnt offering.”

[12:6]  ⁴ sn See the note on Lev 4:3 regarding the term “sin offering.”

[14:10]  ⁵ tn The subject “he” probably refers to the formerly diseased person in this case (see the notes on Lev 1:5a, 6a, and 9a).

[14:10]  ⁶ tn This term is often rendered “fine flour,” but it refers specifically to wheat as opposed to barley (B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 10) and, although the translation “flour” is used here, it may indicate “grits” rather than finely ground flour (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:179; see the note on Lev 2:1). The unit of measure is most certainly an “ephah” even though it is not stated explicitly (see, e.g., Num 28:5; cf. 15:4, 6, 8), and three-tenths of an ephah would amount to about a gallon, or perhaps one-third of a bushel (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 196; Milgrom, 845). Since the normal amount of flour for a lamb is one-tenth of an ephah (Num 28:4-5; cf. 15:4), three-tenths is about right for the three lambs offered in Lev 14:10-20.

[14:10]  ⁷ tn A “log” (לֹג, log) of oil is about one-sixth of a liter, or one-third of a pint, or two-thirds of a cup.

[23:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “And you shall present on the bread.”

[23:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “seven flawless lambs, sons of a year.”

[23:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and one bull, a son of a herd.”

[23:18]  ¹¹ tc Smr and LXX add “flawless.”

[23:18]  ¹² tn Heb “and their grain offering.”

[23:18]  ¹³ sn See the note on Lev 1:9.
