Numbers 6:14

6:14 and he must present his offering 1  to the Lord: one male lamb in its first year without blemish for a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish for a purification offering, one ram without blemish for a peace offering, 2 

Numbers 6:16

6:16 “‘Then the priest must present all these 3  before the Lord and offer 4  his purification offering and his burnt offering.

1 tn Heb “he shall offer his offering” – the object is a cognate accusative.

2 sn The peace offering שְׁלָמִים (shÿlamim) is instructed in Lev 3 and 7. The form is always in the plural. It was a sacrifice that celebrated the fact that the worshiper was at peace with God, and was not offered in order to make peace with God. The peace offering was essentially a communal meal in the presence of God. Some have tried to equate this offering with similar sounding names in Akkadian and Ugaritic (see B. A. Levine, In the Presence of the Lord [SJLA], 3-52), but the unique features of the Israelite sacrifice make this connection untenable.

3 tn “all these” is supplied as the object.

4 tn Heb “make.”
