Imamat 14:13

14:13 He must then slaughter ¹  the male lamb in the place where ²  the sin offering ³  and the burnt offering ⁴  are slaughtered, ⁵  in the sanctuary, because, like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; ⁶  it is most holy.

Imamat 6:17

6:17 It must not be baked with yeast. ⁷  I have given it as their portion from my gifts. It is most holy, ⁸  like the sin offering and the guilt offering.

[14:13]  ¹ tn Heb “And he shall slaughter.”

[14:13]  ² tn Heb “in the place which.”

[14:13]  ³ sn See the note on Lev 4:3 regarding the term “sin offering.”

[14:13]  ⁴ sn See the note on Lev 1:3 regarding the “burnt offering.”

[14:13]  ⁵ tn Since the priest himself presents this offering as a wave offering (v. 12), it would seem that the offering is already in his hands and he would, therefore, be the one who slaughtered the male lamb in this instance rather than the offerer. Smr and LXX make the second verb “to slaughter” plural rather than singular, which suggests that it is to be taken as an impersonal passive (see J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:852).

[14:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “the guilt offering, it [is] to the Lord.” Regarding the “guilt offering,” see the note on Lev 5:15.

[6:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “It must not be baked leavened” (cf. Lev 2:11). The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.

[6:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “holiness of holinesses [or holy of holies] it is”; cf. NAB “most sacred.”
