The people were to obey all of these laws to honor their covenant with God.\n\n### How should the title of this book be translated?\n\n“Leviticus” means “about the Levites.” The Levites were the tribe of Israel that provided priests and other workers in the tabernacle. If the people in the project language do not understand the term “Levites,” you can call it “The Book about the Priests” or “The Book about the Tabernacle Workers.” (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/tabernacle]] and [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])\n\n### Who wrote the book of Leviticus?\n\n### What is the meaning of “holy” and “holiness” in the book of Leviticus?\n\nThese terms concern separating someone or something from the rest of the people, from the world, or from ordinary use. God separated these people or things so they would belong only to him. The people were to consider as separate the places for worshiping God or for honoring him in any way. The people could not use them for anything else. God required the Israelites to live in a certain way in order to live as a nation belonging to him alone.\n\nAnyone or anything that was acceptable to God or “holy” was spoken of as if it were physically clean. In the same way, anyone or anything that was not acceptable to God or not holy was spoken of as if it were physically unclean.\n\nSome people and some things could be made clean or “cleansed,” that is, made acceptable to God. People or things were made clean if the people performed the appropriate sacrifices and ceremonies. For example, some foreigners who wished to live among the Israelites and worship Yahweh could be made clean. However, other people and things could never be made acceptable to him.\n\nIt is important to know that not all unclean things or conditions were sinful. For example, after giving birth to a male child, a woman would be unclean for 33 days. Then the proper animal sacrifice would be offered for her. The monthly flow of blood made the woman unclean ([Leviticus 12:7](../../lev/12/07.md)). But Leviticus never suggests that someone with a flow of blood was sinning. In the same way, God did not allow the Israelites to eat certain kinds of animals; this was one way of setting his people apart.\n\nBecause God does not sin, the terms “holy” and “holiness” often suggest this same idea. Something belonging to God is holy. Because people must respect God, they must respect the things
1:intro ecv8 0 #Leviticus 1 General Notes\n\n##Structure and Formatting\nIn Hebrew, this chapter begins with the word “And,” indicating a connection with the previous book (Exodus). This connection not only implies that the first five books of the Bible should be seen as a single unit; it also situates Leviticus in the narrative setting of the book of Exodus, during the thirteenth month of the Israelite's wandering in the wilderness of Sinai. \n\nThe first chapter of Leviticus is comprised of two hypothetical scenarios representing three variations of the burnt offering:\nThe Burnt Offering (1:117)\n- 1) a livestock animal ([1:213](../01/02.md))\n - a) a bovine ([1:39](../01/03.md))\n - b) a sheep or goat ([1:1013](../01/10.md))\n- 2) a bird ([1:1417](../01/14.md))\n\nAs such, the initial heading verse of each section begins with "If" and is followed by the prescribed steps of the sacrifice. Presumably, they are the same for each burnt offering, but more prescriptions are explicit for the first type of burnt offering, the bovine, probably because they are implied for the other two possible burnt offerings. The steps of the sacrificial process for burnt offerings are:\n\n- 1) Selecting a perfect, unblemished, and otherwise completely healthy animal ([1:3, 10, 14](../01/03.md))\n- 2) Presenting the animal at the entrance to the tent of meeting ([1:3](../01/03.md))\n- 3) Laying hands on the head of the animal ([1:4](../01/04.md))\n- 4) Killing the animal ([1:5, 11, 15](../01/05.md))\n- 5) Presenting and sprinkling the animal's blood on the altar ([1:5, 11, 15](../01/05.md))\n- 6) Skinning the animal ([1:6](../01/06.md))\n- 7) Butchering the animal into its appropriate pieces, usually the head, fat, intestines, and legs ([1:6, 12, 1617](../01/06.md))\n- 8) Putting fire on the altar and arranging the wood ([1:7](../01/07.md))\n- 9) Arranging the pieces, specifically the head and the fat, of the sacrifice over the burning wood of the altar ([1:8, 12](../01/08.md))\n- 10) Washing the legs and the intestines ([1:9, 13](../01/09.md))\n- 11) Burning the entire animal in a way that causes smoke to go up ([1:9, 13, 17](../01/09.md)\n\n##Special Concepts in this Chapter\nSeveral concepts are crucial for understanding the instructions in this chapter. They include: 1) technical sacrificial terminology, 2) atonement, 3) the importance of blood, and 4) the nature of symbolic action. \n\n###Technical sacrificial terminology\nThroughout the book of Leviticus, the author employs several terms that have a specialized technical meaning in the context of sacrifices or that are only used in this context. In this chapter, such terms are 1) the "burnt offering" and 2) the "gift."\n\n- 1) The “burnt offering”\nThe burnt offering was a particular sacrifice that could be offered by anyone for a variety of reasons. Its name is related to a verb that means "to go up" or ”to ascend,” suggesting that the sacrifice was to be converted into smoke by the fire and ascend to Yahweh in heaven, as the discussion on the verb phrase "to cause to become smoke" will suggest. Its function was to provide a sacrifice intended to bring about forgiveness for a wide variety of sins and unintentional mistakes that were not specifically covered by the other sacrifices discussed in the first seven chapters of Leviticus. The sacrifice required a perfect, male animal that would be completely burned on the altar over a fire that was to be kept burning continually (see [6:913](../06/09.md) for more details ). The sacrifice, when accepted by Yahweh, would provide "atonement" for the individual who offered it. \n\n- 2) The “gift” or “offering made by fire”\nThe word translated "gift" in [1:9, 13, and 17](../01/09.md) is variously translated in modern English versions, usually with reference to ”an offering made by fire,” based on the word's presumed relationship with the word for ”fire.” However, some of the sacrifices referred to by this word are not burned on the altar (like the portions of the sacrifices that belo
1:1 y78a rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession מֵ⁠אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד 1 The author of Leviticus is using the possessive to describe Yahweh's **meeting** with Moses (and, by extension, the whole people) within the physical location of the **tent.** If this is not clear in your language, you could use an adjective that better describes the locale of divine presence. Alternative translation: “from the tent where Yahweh met with Moses and lived among the Israelites”
1:1 zbz1 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-quotations לֵ⁠אמֹֽר 1 The word translated **saying** introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, consider ways in which you might introduce this quotation naturally in your language.
1:1-2 rivr rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-quotesinquotes לֵ⁠אמֹֽר & דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵ⁠הֶ֔ם 1 If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He told Moses to speak to the sons of Israel and to say to them”
1:2 l7kq rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵ⁠הֶ֔ם 1 These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition emphasizes that Moses is to deliver the following speech to the people of Israel. (The speech makes up the rest of the book except for the last verse.) If your language does not use repetition for emphasis, you could use a single phrase and convey the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Make sure you say to the people of Israel”
1:2 o3rs rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ 1 This expression speaks of the people of Israel in the time of Moses as if they were literally the **sons** of Israel. It means that they are the physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob, whose name God changed to Israel. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the descendants of Israel”
1:2 jqkz rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ 1 Although the word translated **sons** is masculine and plural, it has a generic sense that applies to both men and women. In your translation, you may wish to use a term that is clearly inclusive of men and women. Alternate translation: “the people of Israel”
1:2 fjhs rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-declarative וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֣ 1 As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, here and throughout the book, the author of Leviticus uses a future form to give an instruction or command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these verbs using a command or instruction form. Alternate translation: “and say”
1:2 aps3 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person אָדָ֗ם & מִ⁠כֶּ֛ם 1 As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, the book often speaks of the Israelites and to the Israelites in the third person, even though it is a direct address to them. Here and throughout the book, if it would be clearer in your language, you could use the second person in your translation. Alternate translation: “One of you Israelites”\n
1:2 yiq7 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations אָדָ֗ם 1 Although the word translated **A man** is masculine, it has a generic sense that refers to any person who approaches the tent to make a sacrifice. Alternate translation: “A person” or “Someone”
1:2 gmsf rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-yousingular מִ⁠כֶּ֛ם 1 The word **you** here is plural. The word applies to the entire Israelite community. Use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
1:2 dlfh rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry אָדָ֗ם כִּֽי־יַקְרִ֥יב מִ⁠כֶּ֛ם קָרְבָּ֖ן לַֽ⁠יהוָ֑ה 1 The word **presents** translates a verb that is related to the noun translated **offering**. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.
1:2 kqu4 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-genericnoun הַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֗ה & הַ⁠בָּקָר֙ & הַ⁠צֹּ֔אן 1 The expressions **the livestock**, **the cattle**, and **the flock** do not refer to specific groups of animals. They describe any groups of animals that an Israelite might own. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “his livestock … his cattle … his flock”
1:2 uwp3 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown מִן־הַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֗ה 1 The word translated **livestock** refers generally to land animals as opposed to birds or fish. In the context of Leviticus, it refers specifically to domesticated bovines, sheep, goats, and all other animals used for commercial and agrarian purposes, including work and food. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “from the animals he is raising”
1:2 fp0a rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown מִן־הַ⁠בָּקָר֙ 1 The word translated **cattle** refers to a subgroup of the word translated **livestock**. It describes a group of bovines—whether cows, bulls, or oxen. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “either from his bovines”
1:2 zd59 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown וּ⁠מִן־הַ⁠צֹּ֔אן 1 The word translated **flock** refers to a subgroup of the word translated **livestock**. It describes a group of sheep or goats. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “or from his sheep or goats”
1:2 a09b תַּקְרִ֖יבוּ 1 Alternate translation: “you must present”
1:3 bgfy rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry קָרְבָּנ⁠וֹ֙ & יַקְרִיבֶ֑⁠נּוּ & יַקְרִ֣יב 1 Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The ULT translates with the noun **offering** and the verb **present**. Your language may have comparable terms that you can use in your own translation.
1:3 dek9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person זָכָ֥ר תָּמִ֖ים יַקְרִיבֶ֑⁠נּוּ 1 Alternate translation: “you shall present a perfect male”
1:3 tdgu rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit זָכָ֥ר תָּמִ֖ים 1 As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, the phrase **a perfect male** here refers to a male bovine that is an exemplary representative of its species. Alternate translation: “an unblemished male” or "a male without blemish"
1:3 ds3f rc://*/ta/man/grammar-connect-logic-result זָכָ֥ר תָּמִ֖ים יַקְרִיבֶ֑⁠נּוּ אֶל־פֶּ֝תַח אֹ֤הֶל מוֹעֵד֙ יַקְרִ֣יב אֹת֔⁠וֹ לִ⁠רְצֹנ֖⁠וֹ לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה 1 The word translated **for** indicates the result of offering a sacrifice in the manner prescribed here. If it would be more natural in your language, you could put the last of these phrases first, since the last phrase gives the reason for the actions that the first two phrases describe. Alternate translation: “In order for Yahweh to consider the offering acceptable, he shall present a perfect male at the entrance of the tent of meeting”\n
1:3 l23i rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit לִ⁠רְצֹנ֖⁠וֹ 1 The word translated **its** could refer to: (1) the offering. Alternate translation: “for the acceptance of the sacrifice” or (2) the worshiper. Alternate translation: “for the acceptance of the one offering the sacrifice”
1:3 wwof rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה 1 As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, in contexts such as this, the expression **to the face of Yahweh** means “where Yahweh can see” and, by extension, “from Yahwehs perspective” or “in Yahwehs judgment.” Alternate translation: “from Yahwehs perspective” or “in Yahweh's judgment” or “before Yahweh”
1:4 n7j5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction וְ⁠סָמַ֣ךְ יָד֔⁠וֹ עַ֖ל רֹ֣אשׁ הָ⁠עֹלָ֑ה 1 This is a symbolic action that identifies the person with the animal he is offering. The implication seems to be that the person is ritually placing his sins on the sacrificial animal so that God will forgive the sins when the animal is sacrificed.
1:4 el3u rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive וְ⁠נִרְצָ֥ה 1 If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh will accept it”
1:4 mygh rc://*/ta/man/grammar-connect-logic-goal לְ⁠כַפֵּ֥ר עָלָֽי⁠ו 1 The words **in order to** introduce the purpose of laying hands on the sacrificial animal. Use an expression in your language that makes it clear that what follows is the purpose.
1:4 rvk3 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor לְ⁠כַפֵּ֥ר עָלָֽי⁠ו 1 The word translated **atonement** may have originally indicated either the “covering” or the “wiping away” of sin. Either way, by the time of Leviticus it indicated that the sacrifice would be accepted in order to restore the relationship between the worshiper and Yahweh that had been damaged or defiled by sin. Consider using a word or phrase that coveys this idea effectively in your language. Alternative translation: “to restore him to relationship with Yahweh”
1:5 bs53 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom אֶת־בֶּ֥ן הַ⁠בָּקָ֖ר 1 The expression **son of** describes a person or animal that shares the essential qualities of something. Here the phrase describes this animal as **the son of the cattle** because it is a male animal that shares the distinguishing qualities characteristic of the class of bovines. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an equivalent idiom from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the bull” or “the bovine”
1:5 fgym rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה 1 Alternate translation: “in the presence of Yahweh” or “within the sacred precincts of the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lives among the Israelites”
1:5 sudx rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor בְּנֵ֨י אַהֲרֹ֤ן 1 As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, at the time when Yahweh spoke to Moses from the tent of meeting, the priests literally were **the sons of Aaron**. But the instructions in the book also applied to future generations, when the term “sons” would be a way of referring to the priests as Aaron's “descendants” (with the exception of Leviticus chs. 810). Here and throughout the book, if it would be clearer in your language, in your translation you could generally use that term, which would apply to both the original priests and to their successors.
1:5 qcc2 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit וְ֠⁠הִקְרִיבוּ בְּנֵ֨י אַהֲרֹ֤ן הַֽ⁠כֹּֽהֲנִים֙ אֶת־ הַ⁠דָּ֔ם 1 It is implied that **the priests** would catch **the blood** in a bowl as it drained out of the animal. Then they would bring the bowl with the blood in it and present it to Yahweh at the altar. If this would not be clear in your language, you could supply this information here and in later instances in the book. Alternative translation: “And after catching the blood in a bowl as it drains from the animal, the sons of Aaron, the priests, will present the blood to Yahweh”
1:5 d5hh rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction וְ⁠זָרְק֨וּ אֶת־הַ⁠דָּ֤ם עַל־הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֨חַ֙ סָבִ֔יב אֲשֶׁר־פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד 1 Splashing **the blood** on the sides of **the altar** is a symbolic action. The blood of the animal, being its life (see [Leviticus 17:11](../17/11.md)), was given by God to purify ritually and to remove sin. Here, the blood is splashed against the side of the altar to keep it free from sin. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote here and in subsequent instances in the book. Alternate translation: “and they shall splash the blood all around on the holy altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting in order to keep the altar clean from sin”
1:6 u7di rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns וְ⁠הִפְשִׁ֖יט 1 The pronoun **he** refers to the person making the offering. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make the subject explicit. You could also keep using a second-person pronoun if you have been doing that. Alternate translation: “And the one offering the sacrifice shall skin” or, using the second-person, “And you shall skin”
1:6 cshr rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit וְ⁠נִתַּ֥ח אֹתָ֖⁠הּ לִ⁠נְתָחֶֽי⁠הָ 1 The author of Leviticus assumes his audience will know what portions of the animal constituted **its pieces**. These would have included, but perhaps not have been limited to, the legs and entrails, as [1:9](../01/09.md) suggests. If the phrase **its pieces** would not be clear in your context, consider listing what pieces these are. Alternate translation: “and he shalll cut it into its appropriate portions, removing the legs and entrails”
1:7 tm1b rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom וְ֠⁠נָתְנוּ בְּנֵ֨י אַהֲרֹ֧ן הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֛ן אֵ֖שׁ עַל־הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חַ 1 The expression to **give fire on the altar** means “to light a fire on top of the altar.” It may mean that the priests were to place hot coals on the altar and perhaps kindling, on top of which they would place the wood. If the phrase **give fire** does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an expression in your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And the sons of Aaron the priest shall light a fire on the altar”
1:8 egek rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit וְ⁠אֶת־הַ⁠פָּ֑דֶר 1 The term **fat** refers to suet, that is, the hard, lumpy fat that surrounds the kidneys and liver of sheep, goats, and bovines. If your language has a word for this portion of fatty tissue, consider using it here.\n\n
1:9 y5xf rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicitinfo וְ⁠קִרְבּ֥⁠וֹ וּ⁠כְרָעָ֖י⁠ו יִרְחַ֣ץ בַּ⁠מָּ֑יִם 1 It might seem that the expression **and he shall wash its innards and its legs with water** contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could use an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “And he shall wash its innards and its legs”\n
1:9 b3s6 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns יִרְחַ֣ץ\n 1 The pronoun **he** could refer either to the worshiper or to the priest. But given that every other reference to the priest has been explicit, it is likely that it refers to the worshiper. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this explicit or continue using the same second-person pronoun used thus far. Alternate translation: “the one offering the sacrifice shall wash” or, in the second-person, “you shall wash”\n
1:9 f91i rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns יִרְחַ֣ץ 1 The implication seems to be that the worshiper must **wash** the **innards** and **legs** before the priest arranges them on the wood, as verse 8 describes. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “before the priest arranges the pieces, the one offering the sacrifice shall wash” or, in the second-person, “before the priest arranges the pieces, you shall wash”
1:9 tnez rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction וְ⁠הִקְטִ֨יר הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֤ן אֶת־הַ⁠כֹּל֙ הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֔חָ⁠ה 1 The act of burning the offering in such a way that it rises as smoke is a symbolic act. It depicts the sacrifice as going up to God in heaven. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “And the priest shall cause everything on the altar to become smoke and ascend toward God in heaven”
1:10 e4nb rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-genericnoun מִן־הַ⁠צֹּ֨אן & מִן־הַ⁠כְּשָׂבִ֛ים א֥וֹ מִן־הָ⁠עִזִּ֖ים 1 The expressions, **the flock**, **the lambs**, and **the goats**, do not refer to specific groups of animals. They describe any groups of animals that an Israelite might own. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “from his flock, whether from his sheep or from his goats”
1:10 xwnf rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-collectivenouns זָכָ֥ר תָּמִ֖ים 1 See how you translated the expression **a perfect male** in [1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: “an unblemished male” or “a male without blemish”

1:13 bky3 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicitinfo יִרְחַ֣ץ בַּ⁠מָּ֑יִם 1 See how you translated the expression **wash with water** in [1:9](../01/09.md). Alternate translation: “he shall wash thoroughly”
1:13 cztr rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit וְ⁠הַ⁠קֶּ֥רֶב וְ⁠הַ⁠כְּרָעַ֖יִם יִרְחַ֣ץ בַּ⁠מָּ֑יִם 1 The implication seems to be that the worshiper must **wash** the **innards** and **legs** before the priest arranges them on the altar, as [1:12](../01/12.md) describes. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Before the priest arranges the pieces, the one offering the sacrifice shall wash the innards and legs with water” or “Before the priest arranges the pieces, you shall wash the innards and legs with water”
1:13 mf7x rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction וְ⁠הִקְטִ֣יר הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֔חָ⁠ה 1 The act of burning the offering in such a way that it rises as smoke is a symbolic act. It depicts the sacrifice as going up to God in heaven. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “and he shall cause everything to become smoke on the altar and ascend toward God in heaven”
1:13 hpef rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns וְ⁠הִקְטִ֣יר הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֔חָ⁠ה 1 The pronoun **he** refers to the **the priest**. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this explicit. Alternate translation: “and that same priest shall cause everything to become smoke on the altar ”
1:14 kfag rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-genericnoun מִן־הָ⁠ע֛וֹף & מִן־הַ⁠תֹּרִ֗ים א֛וֹ מִן־בְּנֵ֥י הַ⁠יּוֹנָ֖ה 1 The expressions **from the birds**, **from the turtledoves**, and **from the sons of the pigeon** do not refer to specific birds, that is, to a specific group of turtledoves or pigeons. Rather, these expressions describe any birds (that is, any turtledoves or pigeons) that an Israelite might own or be able to purchase for sacrifice. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “from his birds … from his turtledoves or from his pigeons”
1:14 c42w rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy מִן־בְּנֵ֥י הַ⁠יּוֹנָ֖ה 1 The expression **sons of** describes a person or animal that shares the essential qualities of something. The author of Leviticus uses this phrase to describe a group of birds as **the sons of the pigeon** since they were birds that shared the essential qualities of that class of bird. If it would be helpful, you could use an equivalent idiom from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the pigeons”
1:15 sggt rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction וְ⁠הִקְטִ֖יר הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חָ⁠ה 1 The act of burning the offering in a way that causes smoke to rise is a symbolic act. It depicts the sacrifice as going to God in heaven. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “and he shall cause everything to become smoke on the altar and ascend toward God in heaven”
1:15 kk8b rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns וּ⁠מָלַק֙ אֶת־רֹאשׁ֔⁠וֹ 1 The pronoun **he** is ambiguous and could refer to either the worshiper or to **the priest**. However, because it is explicitly **the priest** who brings the sacrificial bird to the altar before it is sacrificed and prepared for burning, it is likely that throughout this verse and the next one, the pronoun **he** refers to the **the priest**. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this explicit. Alternate translation: “and that same priest should twist off its head”
1:15 v06b rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns וְ⁠הִקְטִ֖יר הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חָ⁠ה 1 As the previous note explains, the pronoun **he** refers to the priest.

1:15 etrw rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit וְ⁠הִקְטִ֖יר הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חָ⁠ה 1 The object that is to be burned on the altar is not specified. However, because the blood has not yet been removed from the sacrificial bird and the burning of blood is expressly forbidden in Leviticus, it seems likely that the supplied pronoun **it** here refers to **the head** of the bird. If it would be clearer in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “and he should cause the head that he removed to become smoke on the altar”
1:15 sur7 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive וְ⁠נִמְצָ֣ה דָמ֔⁠וֹ 1 If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Then the priest should drain its blood”

1:16 x63v rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns וְ⁠הִשְׁלִ֨יךְ אֹתָ֜⁠הּ 1 The pronoun **it** refers to the **craw**, but since the worshiper is supposed to **throw it beside the altar** along with the **feathers**, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural pronoun “them,” as modeled by the UST.
1:16 of8a rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns וְ⁠הִשְׁלִ֨יךְ אֹתָ֜⁠הּ 1 The pronoun **he** is ambiguous, but appears to continue the action taken by **the priest**. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this explicit. Alternate translation: “and the priest shall throw it”
1:16 zb2d rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown מְק֖וֹם הַ⁠דָּֽשֶׁן 1 The **place of the fatty ashes** is the specified spot where the priest would dump the ashes that had accumulated from previous sacrifices, along with the rendered fat from the altar.

Alternate translation: “And the priest shall cause everything to become smoke on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire, and ascend towards God in heaven”
1:17 y4aw rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor רֵ֥יחַ נִיחֹ֖חַ לַ⁠יהוָֽה 1 The author of Leviticus describes Yahweh accepting the sacrifice, using the image of Yahweh enjoying the pleasant-smelling smoke that rises from the burnt offering.

2:intro t6wy 0 # Leviticus 2 General Notes\n\n## Structure and Formatting\n\nThis chapter gives instructions about how to make a grain offering. The **and** of 2:1 indicates that the instructions of Lev 1 are continuing. Yahweh continues telling Moses how the people should offer sacrifices. In outline form, the structure of the chapter can be displayed as follows: \n\n- 1) The Grain Offering (2:116)\n - I. Offerings of Raw Flour (2:13)\n - II. Offerings that are Baked, Pan-Fried, or Deep-Fried (2:410)\n - i. Baked (2:4)\n - ii. Pan-Fried on the Griddle (2:56)\n - iii. Deep-Fried in a Pan (2:7)\n - iv. Instruction for Offering (2:810)\n - III. Instructions regarding Leaven, Honey, and Salt (2:1113)\n - i. Prohibition against burning leaven or honey (2:1112)\n - ii. Prescription for including salt (2:13)\n - IV. Offerings of Grains (2:1416)\n\n##Translation Issues in this Chapter\n### The number and person of pronouns\nIn the address to the Israelites, the author of Leviticus is known for abuptly switching the person, number, and occassionaly gender, of pronouns and verbal forms that refer to the person offering sacrifices. In chapter 1, it was suggested that any third-person singular pronouns that refer to the worshiper (and not to the priest) could be changed to second-person plural pronouns, based on the nature of the direct address and the presence of a second-person plural pronoun in [1:2](../01/02.md) and several times in the current chapter.\n\nThe pronouns referring to the worshiper switch person, gender, and number frequently. Verses 13 address the worshiper with a third-person singular pronoun. This swiches to the second-person, singular pronoun in 2:48. The worshiper is addressed in the third-person in verse 8, but verse 11 marks a shift to the second-person, this time in the plural. The plural pronouns continue throughout verses 11 and 12, but the author of Leviticus swtiches back to the second-person singular from verse 13 to the end of the chapter.\n\n1. Third-Person (2:13)\n- "...when a person [third-person, feminine singular] presents..." (2:1)\n- "...his [third-person, masculine singular] offering..." (2:1)\n- "...and he [third-person, masculine singular] shall pour ..." (2:1)\n- "...and he [third-person, masculine singular] shall put..." (2:1)\n- "...and he [third-person, masculine singular] shall bring..." (2:2)\n\n\n2. Second-Person (2:48)\n- "And if you [second-person, masculine singular] present..." (2:4)\n- "And if your [second-person, masculine singular] offering..." (2:5)\n- "Piece [second-person, singular imperative] it..." (2:6)\n- "...and you [second-person, masculine singular] shall pour..." (2:6)\n- "And if your [second-person, masculine singular] offering..." (2:7)\n- "And you [second-person, masculine singular] shall bring..." (2:8)\n\n\n3. Third-Person (2:810)\n- "And he [third-person, masculine singular] shall present..." (2:8)\n\n\n4. Second-Person (2:1115)\n- "Any grain offering that you [second-person, masculine plural] present..." (2:11)\n- "...you [second-person, masculine plural] shall not cause to become smoke..." (2:11)\n- "You [second-person, masculine plural] shall present..." (2:12)\n- "...your [second-person, masculine singular] grain offerings..." (2:13)\n- "...you [second-person, masculine singular] shall salt..." (2:13)\n- "...you [second-person, masculine singular] shall not omit..." (2:13)\n- "...the covenant of your [second-person, masculine singular] God..." (2:13)\n- "...your [second-person, masculine singular] offerings..." (2:13)\n- "...you [second-person, masculine singular] shall present..." (2:13)\n- "And if you [second-person, masculine singular] present..." (2:14)\n- "...you [second-person, masculine singular] shall present..." (2:14)\n- "...your [second-person, masculine singular] first ripe grains..." (2:14)\n- "And you [second-person, masculine singular] shall put..." (2:15)\n- "...and you [second-person, masculine singular] shall place..." (2:15

The word **presents** translates a verb that is related to the noun translated **offering**. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

Here and throughout the book, if it would be clearer in your language, you could use the second person in your translation. Alternate translation: “And when you bring a grain offering to Yahweh, your offering”
2:1 oa9h rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit וְ⁠נֶ֗פֶשׁ כִּֽי־תַקְרִ֞יב 1 The word translated as **a person** is feminine, but it has a generic sense that refers to any person who approaches the tent to make a sacrifice.

If it would be helpful in your language, here and throughout the book you could translate these future statements using command or instruction forms. Alternate translation: “his offering should be flour. And he should pour oil on it, and he should put incense on it” or, using the second person, “your offering should be flour. And you should pour oil on it, and you should put incense on it”
2:1 tf2u rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown סֹ֖לֶת 1 As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the term translated **flour** refers to the food product made from grinding roasted and dried grains of wheat. Here, **flour** could mean: (1) the finely ground grain that falls through a sieve when sifted. Alternate translation: “fine wheat flour” or (2) the large lumps of crushed grain that remain on top of a sieve when sifted. Alternate translation: “wheat semolina”
2:1 hdh9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown שֶׁ֔מֶן 1 As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, **oil** here refers to the agricultural product made from pressing ripe olives. If your language has a specific word for this term, consider using it here.
2:1 x1p5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown לְבֹנָֽה 1 As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the word **incense** refers to an expensive, fragrant gum resin tapped from specific trees. It would be routinely burned in ritual settings, such as grain offerings, for its fragrance. If your language has a word for this kind of religious item, consider using it here. Alternate translation: “a lump of frankincense”
2:2 b2x5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns וֶֽ⁠הֱבִיאָ֗⁠הּ 1 The pronoun **it** refers to the grain offering, that is, the mixture of oil and wheat flour with the lump of incense, that [2:1](../02/01.md) describes.

The word **grab** translates a verb that is related to the noun translated **handful**. The use of related words adds clarity to the statement. If your language can use related words for clarity and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here.
2:2 ufqr rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns וְ⁠קָמַ֨ץ 1 The pronoun **he** is ambiguous in the context and could refer either to **the priest** or the worshiper. However, based on the description in [2:9](../02/09.md), it is likely that **he** refers to **the priest**. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this explicit.

If this form would not express the idea of unique holiness in your language, consider a more generic way to express this idea. Alternate translation: “a most holy offering” or “an exceptionally holy offering”
2:3 dtv0 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-possession מֵ⁠אִשֵּׁ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ס 1 In this possessive form, **Yahweh** is the object rather than the subject of **gifts**. That is, this does not mean gifts that Yahweh gives, it means gifts that are given to Yahweh. Alternative translation: “from the gifts that you present to Yahweh”
2:4 ggpx rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry וְ⁠כִ֥י תַקְרִ֛ב קָרְבַּ֥ן מִנְחָ֖ה 1 See how you translated the similar expression in [1:2](../01/02.md) and [2:1](../02/01.md).
2:4 q954 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person תַקְרִ֛ב 1 As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, to this point the author of Leviticus has been using third-person singular pronouns. In this verse, the author of Leviticus starts using second-person singular pronouns. If you have been using the third-person pronouns and the switch to the second-person pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could continue to use the third-person pronouns in your translation.
2:4 q6ll rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive מַאֲפֵ֣ה תַנּ֑וּר 1 The term **baked item** may seem like a passive verbal form that your language would not use.

If your language would not use a possessive form in this way, you could express the same meaning in another way. Alternative translation: “flour that you have mixed with oil and shaped into unleavened loaves”
2:4 nj1d rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown וּ⁠רְקִיקֵ֥י מַצּ֖וֹת 1 This **wafer** was a thin, cracker-like cake made from wheat flour. If your language has a word for a breaded loaf of this kind, consider using it here.

2:5 qg9n rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown הַֽ⁠מַּחֲבַ֖ת 1 This **griddle** was a thick but shallow plate made of either clay or metal that was placed over a fire. The dough was placed on the shallow plate; the heat from the fire would cook or lightly fry or toast the dough on top of the plate. If your readers would not be familiar with what a griddle is, in your translation, you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture, or you could use a general expression.

2:6 jmbo rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry פָּת֤וֹת אֹתָ⁠הּ֙ פִּתִּ֔ים 1 Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The word **piece** translates a verb that is related to the noun translated **pieces**. The use of related words adds clarity to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here.
2:6 bq8a rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns פָּת֤וֹת אֹתָ⁠הּ֙ פִּתִּ֔ים 1 Here, the pronoun **it** refers to the grain offering, whether baked in an oven (see [2:4](../02/04.md)) or cooked on a griddle (see [2:5](../02/05.md)). It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Place either kind of grain offering into pieces”

2:7 l1pm rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown מַרְחֶ֖שֶׁת 1 The word **pan** refers to a plate of metal or clay with rounded edges, possibly with a lid. This plate was deeper than the **griddle** described in [2:5](../02/05.md), and, as a result, the dough was placed into the pan and cooked over a hot fire in the oil, resulting in something like deep-frying. If your readers would not be familiar with what a pan is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture, or you could use a general expression.

Because of the altar's proximity to the inner tent of the tent of meeting where Yahweh lived among the Israelites, bringing the offering to the altar was tantamount to bringing it directly to Yahweh himself. If it would be clearer in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “And you shall bring the grain offering that is made from these things to the altar that is located at the entrance to the tent of meeting, where Yahweh lives among the Israelites”

2:13 ekv0 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-reduplication בַּ⁠מֶּ֣לַח תִּמְלָח֒ 1 Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The phrase **you shall salt** translates a verb that is related to the noun translated **salt**. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.
2:13 gjig rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-yousingular תִּמְלָח֒ 1 As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Leviticus uses second-person singular forms in this verse and for the rest of the chapter. If you have been using second-person plural forms in your translation and switching to singular forms would not be natural in your language, you could continue to use plural forms in your translation.

You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the salt that preserves food and so should remind you of the binding and permanent nature of Gods covenant with you”

3:intro ur1s 0 #Leviticus 3 General Notes\n\n##Structure and Formatting\n\nThis chapter gives instructions about how to offer a **peace offering**. In a similar fashion to Leviticus 1, here Yahweh provides options for sacrifices of peace offerings consisting of a bovine, whether male or female (3:15), or a flock animal, whether a lamb (3:611) or a goat (3:1216). The chapter ends with an “enduring statute,” applicable to any Israelite, regardless of age or location. This statute entails the proscription of consuming any fat or blood (3:17). In outline form, the structure of chapter 3 is as follows: \n\n\n- 1) The Peace Offering (3:117)\n - I. Offering a bovine (3:15)\n - II. Offering a flock animal (3:616)\n - i. a sheep (3:611)\n - ii. a goat (3:1216)\n - The proscription against eating blood or fat (3:17)\n\n##Special Concepts in this Chapter\n\n###The peace offering \nThe **peace offering**, sometimes called the "restitution offering" or the "fellowship offering," CONTINUE!!\n\n- can everyone eat the peace offering?\n- what is the relationship of the peace offering to the wave offering? (cf. 7:2834)\n- mention the thanksgiving peace offering (7:1115), which accompanied bread and animal sacrifices, votive peace offerings and the freewill peace offerings (7:1621). \n\n###Fat\nIn ancient times, the fat of an animal was considered the best part of the animal to eat. Therefore, the fat portions of a sacrifice belonged to Yahweh and were to be offered on the fire and converted into pleasant-smelling smoke that rose to Yahweh in heaven. The fat portions and internal organs that were to be removed for burning that are referred to in this chapter include:\n\n- 1) For bovine, sheep and goats:\n* the **fat covering the innards**, that is, the caul fat that covers all of the internal organs (see [3:3, 9, 14](../03/09.md))\n* the **fat that is on the innards**, that is, the visceral fat that is directly connected to the internal organs (see [3:3, 9, 14](../03/09.md))\n* the fat that is connected to the **two kidneys** (see [3:4, 10, 15](../03/09.md))\n* the **two kidneys** themselves (see [3:4, 10, 15](../03/09.md))\n* the **lobe on the liver**, that is, one of the four bunches of liver tissue on the animal's liver (see [3:4, 10, 15](../03/09.md))\n* the **liver** itself (see [3:4, 10, 15](../03/09.md))\n\n-2) For sheep only, in addition to the portions listed above:\n* the entirety of the **fat** of the sheep (see [3:9](../03/09.md))\n* the **fatty tail**, that is, the portion of fat attached to the short tail of the sheep, which was to be removed in one piece near the end of the spine (see [3:9](../03/09.md))\n\nThese portions of fat were to be carefully removed by the person offering the sacrifice and presented to the priest to be burned on the altar. \n\n###Sprinkling blood\nThe symbolic action of **splashing** or "sprinkling” the blood of the animal on the **the altar** is frequent in animal sacrifices in Leviticus. The blood, being the life of the animal (see [17:11](../17/11.md)), was given by God to purify ritually and to remove sin. In this chapter, the blood acts as a ritual detergent with the special ability to cleanse people, sacred objects, and sacred spaces from the impurity generated by sin. As such, it was splashed on the sides of the altar in a symbolic act that removed the impurities of sin.\n\n###Consuming blood or fat\nLeviticus 3:17 prohibits any Israelite, regardless of age or location, from eating any fat or blood of any animal. Because the blood contained "the life" of the animal, it had the special ability to cleanse people, sacred objects, or sacred space from the impurity caused by sin. As such, Yahweh forbid the eating of any animal blood (see ([7:2627](../07/26.md), ([17:1014](../17/10.md), and ([19:26](../19/26.md)). While the reason for forbidding the consumption of fat is not given in this chapter, it is presumed that these choice portions of rich fat were especially coveted and so belonged exclusively to Yahweh.
3:1 c260 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown שְׁלָמִ֖ים 1 As the general introduction to this chapter discusses, a **peace offering** is a sacrifice that was intended to promote friendship and fellowship either between an individual and God or between two individuals or parties. As [7:1121](../07/11.md) describes, peace offerings could take a variety of forms, including as an offering of thanksgiving for Gods generosity or deliverance, or as an auxiliary to the fulfillment of a vow.

4:intro wrl4 0 #Leviticus 4 General Notes\n\n##Structure and Formatting\nThis chapter begins with a new introduction that continues the narrative framing at the beginning of the book. As such, Leviticus 4:15:13 should be taken as a discrete unit, continuing on from Leviticus 13.\n\nThis chapter gives instructions on how to offer a sacrifice for unintentional sins, called a **purification offering** because of its ability to purify the sacred space and sacred objects that are dedicated to Yahweh from the impurities generated by unintentional sin. The structure of the chapter offers can be mapped out as follows:\n\n\n- 1) The Purification Offering (4:15:13)\n - I. Unintentional Sins (4:135)\n - i. scenario #1: The High Priest (4:312)\n - ii. scenario #2: The Community (4:1321)\n - iii. scenario #3: A Leader (4:2226)\n - iv. scenario #4: An Individual (4:2735)\n\nThe chapter addresses four hypothetical situations where this kind of sacrifice is needed:\n\n- 1) the high priest unintentionally sins (4:312)\n- 2) the whole community unintentionally sins (4:1321)\n- 3) a leader in the community unintentionally sins (4:2226)\n- 4) an ordinary individual unintentionally sins (4:2735)\n - that individual offers a goat (4:2731)\n - that individual offers a sheep (4:3235)\n\nAs in Leviticus 1, the instructions offer a detailed outline of the procedure for the sacrifice. The instructed steps include:\n\n- 1) presenting a perfect animal to the priest (4:3, 14)\n - for the high priest, a young bull (4:3)\n - for the community, a young bull (4:13)\n - for the leader, a male goat (4:23)\n - for the individual, a male goat (4:28) or a female sheep (4:32)\n- 2) bringing the animal to the tent of meeting (4:4, 14, 23, 28, 32)\n- 3) laying hands on the animal (4:4, 15, 24, 29, 33)\n- 4) killing the animal (4:4, 15, 24, 29, 33)\n- 5) bringing the blood into the tent of meeting (4:5, 16)\n- 6) sprinkling the blood seven times before Yahweh towards the curtain (4:6, 17)\n- 7) putting some blood on each of the four horns of an altar (4:7, 18, 25, 30, 34)\n - for the high priest and the community, the blood is applied to the horns of the incense altar (4:7, 18)\n - for the leader and the individual, the blood is applied to the horns of the burnt-offering altar (4:25, 30, 34)\n- 8) pouring the rest of the blood out on the base of the burnt-offering altar (4:8, 18, 25, 30, 34)\n- 9) properly butchering the animal into the fat portions (4:910, 1920, 26, 31, 35)\n- 10) burning the fat portions and creating the pleasant-smelling smoke (4:10, 1920, 26, 31, 35)\n- 11) bringing the rest of the sacrificed animal portions outside the camp to burn them (4:1112, 21)\n\n##Special Concepts in this Chapter\n\n###Unintentional sins\n[INSERT TEXT] \n\n###Guilt\n[INSERT TEXT] \n\n###Sprinkling Blood\n[INSERT TEXT] \n\n\n###The various altars and the sacred curtain\n\n###Disposing of the portions of the sacrifice that are not burned\n[INSERT TEXT]

It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He told Moses to speak to the sons of Israel, saying”
4:2 gdkg rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל 1 This expression speaks of the people of Israel in the time of Moses as if they were literally the **sons of Israel**. It means that they are the physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob, whose name God changed to Israel. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the descendants of Israel”
4:2 skxw rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל 1 Although the word translated **sons** is masculine and plural, it has a generic sense that applies to both men and women. In your translation, you may wish to use a term that is clearly inclusive of men and women. Alternate translation: “the people of Israel”
4:2 hgnv rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-quotations לֵ⁠אמֹר֒ 1 The word translated **saying** introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, consider ways in which you might introduce this quotation naturally in your language.
4:2 wdps rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations נֶ֗פֶשׁ כִּֽי־תֶחֱטָ֤א 1 Although the words translated **A person** and **he** are feminine, they have a generic sense that refers to any person who approaches the tent to make a sacrifice. As the General Introduction to this chapter suggests, the people of Israel are here referred to by using a generic feminine noun, which intentionally balances the use of the generic masculine noun in [1:2](../01/02.md). If your language has a generic word for an individual that is grammatically feminine, consider using it here, or use a generic noun. Alternate translation: “When any person offers” or “When someone offers”

Alternate translation: “when she sins by mistake from all the commands of Yahweh that say what you should not do” or (2) the act of sinning against God by violating any of **the commands of Yahweh**. Alternate translation: “when she sins by mistake from all the commands of Yahweh, which is something that you should not do”
4:2 yyyi rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit כִּֽי־תֶחֱטָ֤א בִ⁠שְׁגָגָה֙ מִ⁠כֹּל֙ מִצְוֺ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה 1 The expression **sins by mistake from any of the commands of Yahweh** could refer to: (1) doing wrong against God by mistakenly not doing something that **the commands of Yahweh** say to do. Alternate translation: “when he sins by mistake, unintentionally not doing something that the commands of Yahweh say you should do” or (2) doing wrong against God by mistakenly doing something that the commands of Yahweh expressly forbid. Alternate translation: “when he sins by mistake by doing something that the commands of Yahweh say you should not do”
4:2 czo5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry וְ⁠עָשָׂ֕ה מֵ⁠אַחַ֖ת מֵ⁠הֵֽנָּה 1 The expression **from one from them** uses repetition to refer to any individual command from the body of the commands of Yahweh. If your language can use repetition for emphasis in this manner, consider using a similar expression here. If not, then consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: “and he does any one of them”
4:3 iy0r rc://*/ta/man/grammar-connect-logic-result אִ֣ם הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֧ן הַ⁠מָּשִׁ֛יחַ יֶחֱטָ֖א לְ⁠אַשְׁמַ֣ת הָ⁠עָ֑ם 1 The expression **sins to the guilt of the people** refers to an act of wrongdoing against Yahweh that results in the collective guilt of the people in some way. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making this explicit. Alternate explanation: “if the anointed priest sins in such a way that it causes the people to become guilty”
4:3 jsnr rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֧ן הַ⁠מָּשִׁ֛יחַ 1 The **anointed priest** refers to the high priest, or the member of the priest who has been anointed to lead the priesthood. Alternate translation: “the priest whom Yahweh anointed to be high priest”
4:3 g1z4 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns לְ⁠אַשְׁמַ֣ת הָ⁠עָ֑ם 1 The abstract noun **guilt** refers both to the emotional experience of feeling guilty and to the legal status of having done wrong and needing to offer restitution for the wrongdoing. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of **guilt**, you can express the same idea with an adjective. Alternate translation: “so as to cause the people to be guilty”
4:3 dr8l וְ⁠הִקְרִ֡יב 1 Alternate translation: “then he should present”
4:3 l49l rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry עַ֣ל חַטָּאת⁠וֹ֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר חָטָ֜א 1 Here, a verb and its object come from the same root. The phrase **he sinned** translates a verb that is related to the noun translated **sin**. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis and your language has comparable terms that you can use in your own translation, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.
4:3 hev1 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown פַּ֣ר 1 A **bull** is a domesticated adult male ox or bullock. If your language has a word for this animal, consider using it here. If not, then consider using a generic noun. Alternate translation: “male of the cattle” or “a male bovine”
4:3 w2tz rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom בֶּן־בָּקָ֥ר 1 The expression **son of** describes a person or animal that shares the essential qualities of something. Here the phrase describes this male ox as **the son of the cattle** because it is a male animal that shares the essential qualities of the class of domesticated bovines. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an equivalent idiom from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the male ox” or “the male bovine”
4:3 wv3q בֶּן־בָּקָ֥ר 1 See how you translated the word **cattle** in [1:2](../01/02.md). Alternate translation: “a son of the domesticated bovines”

Then they would bring the bowl with the blood in it and present it to Yahweh at the altar, before applying it to the altar in the manner that [4:67](../04/06.md) describes. If this would not be clear in your language, you could supply this information here and in later instances in the book. Alternative translation: “After catching the blood in a bowl as it drains from the bull that he slaughtered, the anointed priest should take some of the blood of the bull”
4:5 i2aa הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֥ן הַ⁠מָּשִׁ֖יחַ 1 See how you translated this way of referring to the high priest in [4:3](../04/03.md).

Alternate translation: “and he should sprinkle some of the blood seven times toward the Holy of Holies, where Yahweh is”
4:6 uk96 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction וְ⁠הִזָּ֨ה מִן־הַ⁠דָּ֜ם שֶׁ֤בַע פְּעָמִים֙ 1 Just as the blood is splashed against the altar in [1:5](../01/05.md) and elsewhere, here, in a similar symbolic action, the high priest **sprinkles** the blood on the altar and the curtain with his finger. The blood, being the life of the animal (see [17:11](../17/11.md)), was given by God to purify and remove the defiling impurities caused by the high priests unintentional sin. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote here and in subsequent instances in the book. Alternate translation: “and he should sprinkle some of the blood seven times in order to cleanse the sacred place from the defiling impurities of sin”
4:6 z4pg rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom אֶת־פְּנֵ֖י פָּרֹ֥כֶת הַ⁠קֹּֽדֶשׁ 1 The **face of the curtain** is an idiom that means the front of the curtain. If your language has a similar idiom, consider using it here. If not, consider using a general expression. Alternate translation: “the front of the curtain”
4:6 htr0 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown אֶת־פְּנֵ֖י פָּרֹ֥כֶת הַ⁠קֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ 1 The **curtain of the holy place** was a thick cloth of blue, purple, and scarlet linen that hung between the holy place of the altar and the Holy of Holies, concealing the Holy of Holies from view, as described in [Exodus 26:3135](exod/26/31.md). If it would be helpful, consider making this explicit. Alternate translation: “the front of the sacred screen that separates the Holy of Holies from the rest of the sanctuary”

By daubing the blood on the extremities of the altar, the priest is ritually removing from the sacred altar the impurities caused by the unintentional sin. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote here and in subsequent instances in the book. Alternate translation: “And the priest should put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of incense of the spices in order to purify the altar from the defiling impurities caused by the priests unintentional sin”
4:7 rrcr rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown קַ֠רְנוֹת מִזְבַּ֨ח קְטֹ֤רֶת הַ⁠סַּמִּים֙ 1 The **horns of the altar** refer to the projections at the corners of the **altar**.

4:7 n7r6 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown מִזְבַּ֨ח קְטֹ֤רֶת הַ⁠סַּמִּים֙ 1 The **altar of incense of the spices** refers to the place where priests burned fragrance incense twice a day. It was located directly in front of the curtain which separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the sanctuary. It is described in detail in [Exodus 30:110](exod/30/01.md). Alternate translation: “the altar of the fragrant incenses”
4:7 hgoz rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה 1 Because this verse specifies that the incense altar is located inside the **tent of meeting**, here the expression **to the face of Yahweh** means directly in front of the Holy of Holies, the location where Yahweh was enthroned above the cherubim on the ark of the covenant. Alternate translation: “in the sacred vicinity of the tent of meeting where Yahweh ” or “directly in front of the Yahwehs presence in the Holy of Holies

4:8 rd3l rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom יָרִ֣ים מִמֶּ֑⁠נּוּ 1 The expression **he will lift up from it** is an idiom that means to carefully remove and set aside.

However, because here the anointed priest is both the one offering the sacrifice and the one performing the sacrificial rite, the word **he** refers to the priest.

Rather, the present tense is being used both to describe action that was previously described in the book of Leviticus and to depict a hypothetical situation. If it would be helpful in your language, consider choosing language that makes it plain that the author is not referring to a specific past action. Alternate translation: “in the same manner as it would be removed from the ox of the purification offering”

The implication of this verse is that if the individual who hears the curse against the perpetrator of the crime fails to testify against that individual in the context of the judicial system, then he must **carry his iniquity** (for this phrase, see the next note). Alternate translation: “someone pronouncing a curse against someone who has wronged them”

As the General Introduction to the chapter discusses, this kind of guilt resulted in the need for the **guilt offering**, by which a person atoned for himself and made reparation for the impurity that he brought into the sacred space by his wrongdoing.

This could be done by stealing from the other individual, extorting from them wages or any owed money, finding something that belongs to the other individual but failing to return it, or any other way of proving that the original oath was taken without intent to abide by it honestly. If the idiom here does not communicate this meaning in your language, consider using a more general expression.

7:intro nbv3 0 # Leviticus 7 General Notes\n\n## Structure and Formatting\n\nThis chapter gives instructions on how to offer guilt offerings, peace offerings and freewill offerings.\n\n## Special Concepts in this Chapter\n\n### Blood\n\nThe people were not allowed to eat or drink the blood of the sacrificed animal because life was considered to be in the blood of the animal. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/blood]] and [Leviticus 17:11](../../lev/17/11.md))

7:2 w7q9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-tense בִּ⁠מְק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִשְׁחֲטוּ֙ אֶת־הָ֣⁠עֹלָ֔ה 1\n\n Here, the author of Leviticus does not use the future tense to describe future action, as if he is here referring to a specific instance where an individual will perform this specific action. Rather, the future tense is being used to depict a hypothetical situation. If it would be helpful in your language, consider choosing language that makes it plain that the author is not referring to a specific future action. Alternate translation: “In the location where the burnt offering would normally be slaughtered”
7:2 i8iw rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns יִשְׁחֲטוּ֙ & יִשְׁחֲט֖וּ 1\n\n Here, **they** refers generically to anyone who might perform these actions. If it would be helpful in your language, consider using a general expression for a person. Alternate translation: “someone normally slaughters… people shall slaughter” or “an individual slaughters … that individual shall slaughter”
7:2 grkl rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-123person יִשְׁחֲטוּ֙ & יִשְׁחֲט֖וּ 1\n\n Although the end of the last chapter addressed the people of Israel using a second-person singular form, here the author of Leviticus addresses everyone who approaches the tent of meeting to sacrifice using a third-person plural form. If the switch from second-person forms to third-person forms would be confusing in your language, consider using whichever form you have been using throughout the previous chapters.

If it would be helpful in your language, consider making the referent explicit. Alternate translation: “And its blood the priest shall splash”
7:3 xzk6 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns יַקְרִ֣יב 1\n\n Here, **he** does not refer to the priest but to the individual offering the sacrifice, the person normally responsible for butchering and preparing the animals fat.

They refer to the manner in which the meat for these two sacrifices is to be reserved for the priests special portion of food, and so the two expressions are used together for emphasis.

7:7 ftun rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit ל֥⁠וֹ יִהְיֶֽה 1 The expression **it will be for him** means that the portion of the animal (in context, the skin of the peace offering, along with the breast meat and the right thigh) belongs to the priest as his allotment from Yahweh. It is questionable whether the skin serves as a food source for the priests, as the other portions do. Rather, it seems likely that the skin would be used for other, unspecified uses. Alternate translation: “these portions of the sacrifice shall belong to him”
7:8 fj85 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations אֶת־עֹ֣לַת אִ֑ישׁ 1 In this expression, although the word **man** is masculine, it refers in a generic way to any individual who offers this sacrifice. The possessive form, **a burnt offering of a man**, does not mean offering a human being as a burnt offering but rather, it means a burnt offering presented by any person, whoever they might be. If it would be helpful in your language, consider using a generic term for a person in this possessive form. Alternate translation: “someones burnt offering” or “the burnt offering that anyone might offer”

However, as stated before, Yahweh does not eat, nor does he need food from human beings. The peace offerings belong to Yahweh in the sense that they are dedicated especially to Yahwehs special purposes. Consequently, the portions of meat from these sacrifices are not to be used for any common purpose.

This could be: (1) an idiom that refers to Yahwehs executing divine judgment against the individual in some unspecified manner, thus removing the person from the people of God. Alternate translation: “then that person will be punished and removed from her people” or, to avoid the passive form, “then Yahweh will execute divine judgment against that person and remove her from her people” (2) a metaphor that refers to the people excommunicating the individual from her community.

Alternate translation: “No one should eat”
7:23 z2p3 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-youcrowd לֹ֥א תֹאכֵֽלוּ 1 Here, **You** is plural. It refers to the people of Israel who would offer sacrifices at the tent of meeting.

If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “but you should never eat it” or, using the third-person, “but no one should ever eat it”

If the switch from third-person to second-person back to third-person forms would be confusing in your language, consider continuing to use whichever form you have been using in your translation throughout the previous chapters.

If this would not be clear in your language, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to waft the breast meat of the sacrifice as a sacrifice that is wafted in Yahwehs presence”

If your language has a word for this choice portion of an animals meat, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression.

Because the Levites, the sons of Aaron, were not given any portion of land and therefore could not farm for themselves, they were dependent on the contributions of their fellow Israelites for food. Yahweh provided this food by setting apart these choice portions for the priests. If this would not be clear from your translation, consider stating the meaning plainly.

11:intro i427 0 # Leviticus 11 General Notes\n\n## Structure and formatting\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\n\n### Laws about food\n\nThis chapter contains a list of the animals the Israelites were not allowed to eat. Further research may be needed to determine the exact location of different parts of an animal. Many of these foods are not consumed to this day because they cause diseases, but it is unclear why the other foods are prohibited.\n\nEating unclean foods made a person unclean. The process of consuming these types of foods spread the uncleanliness to a person. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/clean]])

14:intro u79h 0 # Leviticus 14 General Notes\n\n## Structure and formatting\n\nThis chapter is a continuation of the material in the previous chapter.\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\n### Skin disease and mildew\n\nThis chapter addresses the ways a priest was to decide if a person had a skin disease, which would make a person unclean. This was important because these diseases could have easily spread among the people in the ancient Near East. This was also true for the things which could have touched a persons skin. This chapter explains how the priest was to treat the person suffering with a skin disease. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/clean]])

Any other sacrifice was strictly prohibited. This was probably intended to ensure that the people were only offering sacrifices to Yahweh and not to another god. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]])\n\n## Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter\n\n### “The life of each creature is its blood”\n\nIt is unclear why the life is described as being in the blood. It is possible that diseases were more common in the blood and this is why it was prohibited. Blood is also necessary for life to continue in a creature.
