Imamat 3:6

Animal from the Flock

3:6 “‘If his offering for a peace offering sacrifice to the Lord is from the flock, he must present a flawless male or female. ¹ 

Imamat 4:10

4:10 – just as it is taken from the ox of the peace offering sacrifice ²  – and the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.

Imamat 6:7

6:7 So the priest will make atonement ³  on his behalf before the Lord and he will be forgiven ⁴  for whatever he has done to become guilty.” ⁵ 

Imamat 7:37

Summary of Sacrificial Regulations in Leviticus 6:8-7:36

7:37 This is the law ⁶  for the burnt offering, the grain offering, ⁷  the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, ⁸  and the peace offering sacrifice,

Imamat 16:6

16:6 Then Aaron is to present the sin offering bull which is for himself and is to make atonement on behalf of himself and his household.

Imamat 23:19

23:19 You must also offer ⁹  one male goat ¹⁰  for a sin offering and two yearling lambs for a peace offering sacrifice,

[3:6]  ¹ tn Heb “a male or female without defect he shall present it”; cf. NLT “must have no physical defects.”

[4:10]  ² tn Heb “taken up from”; KJV, ASV “taken off from”; NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV “removed.” See the notes on Lev 3:3-4 above (cf. also 3:9-10, 14-15).

[6:7]  ³ sn Regarding “make atonement” see the note on Lev 1:4.

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[6:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “on one from all which he does to become guilty in it”; NAB “whatever guilt he may have incurred.”

[7:37]  ⁶ sn The Hebrew term translated “law” (תוֹרָה [torah]) occurs up to this point in the book only in Lev 6:9 [6:2 HT], 14 [7 HT], 25 [18 HT], 7:1, 7, 11, and here in 7:37. This suggests that Lev 7:37-38 is a summary of only this section of the book (i.e., Lev 6:8 [6:1 HT]-7:36), not all of Lev 1-7.

[7:37]  ⁷ tc In the MT only “the grain offering” lacks a connecting ו (vav). However, many Hebrew , Smr, LXX, Syriac, and some mss of Tg. Onq. have the ו (vav) on “the grain offering” as well.

[7:37]  ⁸ sn The inclusion of the “ordination offering” (מִלּוּאִים, milu’im; the term apparently comes from the notion of “filling [of the hand],” cf. Lev 8:33) here anticipates Lev 8. It is a kind of peace offering, as the regulations in Lev 8:22-32 will show (cf. Exod 29:19-34). In the context of the ordination ritual for the priests it fits into the sequence of offerings as a peace offering would: sin offering (Lev 8:14-17), burnt and grain offering (Lev 8:18-21), and finally peace (i.e., ordination) offering (Lev 8:22-32). Moreover, in this case, Moses received the breast of the ordination offering as his due since he was the presiding priest over the sacrificial procedures (Lev 8:29; cf. Lev 7:30-31), while Aaron and his sons ate the portions that would have been consumed by the common worshipers in a regular peace offering procedure (Exod 29:31-34; cf. Lev 7:15-18). For a general introduction to the peace offering see the note on Lev 3:1.

[23:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “And you shall make.”

[23:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a he-goat of goats.”
