Leviticus 24:8-9
24:8 Each Sabbath day 1 Aaron 2 must arrange it before the Lord continually; this portion 3 is from the Israelites as a perpetual covenant.
24:9 It will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they must eat it in a holy place because it is most holy to him, a perpetual allotted portion 4 from the gifts of the Lord.”
1 tn Heb “In the day of the Sabbath, in the day of the Sabbath.” The repetition is distributive. A few medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, and the Syriac delete the second occurrence of the expression.
2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Aaron) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn The word “portion” is supplied in the translation here for clarity, to specify what “this” refers to.
4 tn Or “a perpetual regulation”; NRSV “a perpetual due.”
