Leviticus 15:14

Context
15:14 Then on the eighth day he is to take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, 1  and he is to present himself 2  before the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent and give them to the priest,

Leviticus 15:29

Context
15:29 Then on the eighth day she must take for herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons 3  and she must bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Meeting Tent,

Leviticus 23:17

Context
23:17 From the places where you live you must bring two loaves of 4  bread for a wave offering; they must be made from two tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour, baked with yeast, 5  as first fruits to the Lord.

1 tn Heb “from the sons of the pigeon,” referring either to “young pigeons” or “various species of pigeon” (contrast J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:168 with J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 14; cf. Lev 1:14 and esp. 5:7-10).

2 tc The MT has the Qal form of the verb בּוֹא (bo’) “to come” here, but the LXX (followed generally by the Syriac and Tg. Ps.-J.) reflects the Hiphil form of the same verb, “to bring” as in v. 29 below. In v. 29, however, there is no additional clause “and give them to the priest,” so the Hiphil is necessary in that context while it is not necessary here in v. 14.

3 tn Heb “from the sons of the pigeon,” referring either to “young pigeons” or “various species of pigeon” (contrast J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:168 with J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 14; cf. Lev 1:14 and esp. 5:7-10).

4 tc Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., and Tg. Ps.-J. insert the word חַלּוֹת (khallot, “loaves”; cf. Lev 2:4 and the note there). Even though “loaves” is not explicit in the MT, the number “two” suggests that these are discrete units, not just a measure of flour, so “loaves” should be assumed even in the MT.

5 tn Heb “with leaven.” The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.
