Discovery BoxLeviticus 12:6 
Context12:6 “‘When 1 the days of her purification are completed for a son or for a daughter, she must bring a one year old lamb 2 for a burnt offering 3 and a young pigeon or turtledove for a sin offering 4 to the entrance of the Meeting Tent, to the priest.
Leviticus 25:28
Context25:28 If he has not prospered enough to refund 5 a balance to him, then what he sold 6 will belong to 7 the one who bought it until the jubilee year, but it must revert 8 in the jubilee and the original owner 9 may return to his property.
1 tn Heb “And when” (so KJV, NASB). Many recent English versions leave the conjunction untranslated.
2 tn Heb “a lamb the son of his year”; KJV “a lamb of the first year” (NRSV “in its first year”); NAB “a yearling lamb.”
3 sn See the note on Lev 1:3 regarding the “burnt offering.”
4 sn See the note on Lev 4:3 regarding the term “sin offering.”
5 tn Heb “And if his hand has not found sufficiency of returning.” Although some versions take this to mean that he has not made enough to regain the land (e.g., NASB, NRSV; see also B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 176), the combination of terms in Hebrew corresponds to the portion of v. 27 that refers specifically to refunding the money (cf. v. 27; see NIV and G. J. Wenham, Leviticus [NICOT], 315).
6 tn Heb “his sale.”
7 tn Heb “will be in the hand of.” This refers to the temporary control of the one who purchased its produce until the next year of jubilee, at which time it would revert to the original owner.
8 tn Heb “it shall go out” (so KJV, ASV; see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 176).
9 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the original owner of the land) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
