2:4 “‘When you present an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must be made of 2 choice wheat flour baked into unleavened loaves 3 mixed with olive oil or 4 unleavened wafers smeared 5 with olive oil.
1 tn Heb “to this month.”
2 tn The insertion of the words “it must be made of” is justified by the context and the expressed words “it shall be made of” in vv. 7 and 8 below.
3 sn These “loaves” were either “ring-shaped” (HALOT 317 s.v. חַלָּה) or “perforated” (BDB 319 s.v. חַלָּה; cf. J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:184).
4 tn Heb “and.” Here the conjunction vav (ו) has an alternative sense (“or”).
5 tn The Hebrew word מְשֻׁחִים (mÿshukhim) translated here as “smeared” is often translated “anointed” in other contexts. Cf. TEV “brushed with olive oil” (CEV similar).
6 tn See Lev 2:4.
