Leviticus 7:11

The Peace Offering

7:11 “‘This is the law of the peace offering sacrifice which he ¹  is to present to the Lord.

Leviticus 7:32

7:32 The right thigh you must give as a contribution offering ²  to the priest from your peace offering sacrifices.

Leviticus 23:19

23:19 You must also offer ³  one male goat ⁴  for a sin offering and two yearling lambs for a peace offering sacrifice,

---

¹ tn This “he” pronoun refers to the offerer. Smr and LXX have plural “they.”

² tn Older English versions (e.g., KJV, ASV) translate this Hebrew term (תְּרוּמָה, tÿrumah) “heave offering,” derived from the idea of “to raise, to lift” found in the verbal root (cf. NAB “a raised offering”). “Contribution offering” is a better English rendering because it refers to something “taken out from” (i.e., “lifted up from”; cf. the Hebrew term הֵרִים (herim) in, e.g., Lev 2:9; 4:8, etc.) the offering as a special contribution to the specific priest who presided over the offering procedures in any particular instance (see the next verse and R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 4:335-37). Cf. TEV “as a special contribution”; NCV, NLT “as a gift.”

³ tn Heb “And you shall make.”

⁴ tn Heb “a he-goat of goats.”
