Leviticus 6:15

6:15 and the priest ¹  must take up with his hand some of the choice wheat flour of the grain offering ²  and some of its olive oil, and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he must offer its memorial portion ³  up in smoke on the altar ⁴  as a soothing aroma to the Lord. ⁵ 

Leviticus 26:43

26:43 The land will be abandoned by them ⁶  in order that it may make up for ⁷  its Sabbaths while it is made desolate ⁸  without them, ⁹  and they will make up for their iniquity because ¹⁰  they have rejected my regulations and have abhorred ¹¹  my statutes.

¹ tn Heb “and he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. The “he” refers to the officiating priest. A similar shift between singular and plural occurs in Lev 1:7-9, but see the note on Lev 1:7 and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 89 for the possibility of textual corruption.

² tn Heb “shall take up from it with his hand some of the choice wheat flour of the grain offering.”

³ sn See the note on Lev 2:2.

⁴ tc Smr reading, which includes the locative ה (hey, translated “on” the altar), is preferred here. This is the normal construction with the verb “offer up in smoke” in Lev 1-7 (see the note on Lev 1:9).

⁵ tn Heb “and he shall offer up in smoke [on] the altar a soothing aroma, its memorial portion, to the Lord.”

⁶ tn Heb “from them.” The preposition “from” refers here to the agent of the action (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 455).

⁷ tn The jussive form of the verb with the simple vav (ו) here calls for a translation that expresses purpose.

⁸ tn The verb is the Hophal infinitive construct with the third feminine singular suffix (GKC 182 §67.y; cf. v. 34).

⁹ tn Heb “from them.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “because and in because,” a double expression, which is used only here and in Ezek 13:10 (without the vav) for emphasis (GKC 492 §158.b).

¹¹ tn Heb “and their soul has abhorred.”
