Leviticus 4:8

Context

4:8 “‘Then he must take up all the fat from the sin offering bull: 1  the fat covering the entrails 2  and all the fat surrounding the entrails, 3 

Leviticus 11:21

Context
11:21 However, this you may eat from all the winged swarming things that walk on all fours, which have jointed legs 4  to hop with on the land.

Leviticus 11:46

Context
11:46 This is the law 5  of the land animals, the birds, all the living creatures that move in the water, and all the creatures 6  that swarm on the land,

1 tn Heb “all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall take up from it.”

2 tc The MT has here the preposition עַל (’al, “on, upon” [i.e., “which covers on the entrails,” as awkward in Hebrew as it is in English]), but Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Targums read אֶת (’et), which is what would be expected (i.e., “which covers the entrails”; cf. Lev 3:3, 9, 14). It may have been mistakenly inserted here under the influence of “on (עַל) the entrails” at the end of the verse.

3 tn Heb “and all the fat on the entrails.” The fat layer that covers the entrails as a whole (i.e., “that covers the entrails”) is different from the fat that surrounds and adheres to the various organs (“on the entrails,” i.e., surrounding them; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:205-7).

4 tn Heb “which to it are lower legs from above to its feet” (reading the Qere “to it” rather than the Kethib “not”).

5 sn The Hebrew term translated “law” (תוֹרָה, torah) introduces here a summary or colophon for all of Lev 11. Similar summaries are found in Lev 7:37-38; 13:59; 14:54-57; and 15:32-33.

6 tn Heb “for all the creatures.”
