¹ tn Heb “from the sons of the pigeon,” referring either to “young pigeons” or “various species of pigeon” (contrast J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:168 with J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 14; cf. Lev 1:14 and esp. 5:7-10).

² tn Heb “which his hand reaches”; NRSV “such as (which NIV) he can afford.”

³ tn Heb “and one shall be a sin offering and the one a burnt offering.” The versions struggle with whether or not “one” should or should not have the definite article in its two occurrences in this verse (KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB all have the English definite article with both). The MT has the first without and the second with the article.

⁴ tn Heb “to the doorway of”; KJV, ASV “unto the door of.”

⁵ tn Heb “and the one a burnt offering on the grain offering.”
