Leviticus 16:18

Leviticus 16:27

Leviticus 23:18
Context23:18 Along with the loaves of bread, 11 you must also present seven flawless yearling lambs, 12 one young bull, 13 and two rams. 14 They are to be a burnt offering to the Lord along with their grain offering 15 and drink offerings, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord. 16
1 tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (the offerer) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The LXX has “they” rather than “he,” suggesting that the priests, not the offerer, were to slaughter the bull (cf. the notes on vv. 6a and 9a).
2 tn Heb “the son of the herd”; cf. KJV “bullock”; NASB, NIV “young bull.”
3 tn “Splash” (cf. NAB) or “dash” (cf. NRSV) is better than “sprinkle,” which is the common English translation of this verb (זָרַק, zaraq; see, e.g., KJV, NASB, NIV, NLT). “Sprinkle” is not strong enough (contrast נָזָה [nazah], which does indeed mean “to sprinkle” or “to splatter”; cf. Lev 4:6).
4 tn Heb “on the faces of the atonement plate toward the east.” Some have taken this to mean that the ark was stationed just behind the veil-canopy on the eastern side of the most holy place. Thus, the high priest would need to enter and walk toward the west end of the most holy place and then turn eastward in order to face the ark and sprinkle the blood in an eastward direction. The rendering here, however, requires that the ark was stationed on the western end, or perhaps in the middle of the area, so that as the priest entered he was already facing the ark and would sprinkle the blood on the eastern face of the atonement plate, in a westward direction (see, e.g., J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 239 versus J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:1032).
5 sn Presumably in this case the blood was sprinkled seven times on the ground in front of the ark on which the atonement plate was mounted.
6 tn Heb “and he shall bring its blood into from house to the veil-canopy.”
7 tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) indicates the sequence of events here.
8 tn Heb “And he shall take.”
9 tn Heb “he shall bring into from outside to the camp.”
10 tn Heb “they shall burn with fire”; KJV “burn in the fire.” Because “to burn with fire” is redundant in contemporary English the present translation simply has “must be burned up.”
11 tn Heb “And you shall present on the bread.”
12 tn Heb “seven flawless lambs, sons of a year.”
13 tn Heb “and one bull, a son of a herd.”
14 tc Smr and LXX add “flawless.”
15 tn Heb “and their grain offering.”
