1 tn Heb “for your acceptance.” See Lev 1:3-4 above and the notes there.
2 tn Heb “And an ox.”
3 tn Heb “and stunted” (see HALOT 1102 s.v. I קלט).
4 sn The freewill offering was voluntary, so the regulations regarding it were more relaxed. Once a vow was made, the paying of it was not voluntary (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 151-52, for very helpful remarks on this verse).
5 tn Heb “for your acceptance” (see the notes on Lev 1:3-4 and 22:19 above).
