Leviticus 6:5

Context
6:5 or anything about which he swears falsely. 1  He must restore it in full 2  and add one fifth to it; he must give it to its owner when he is found guilty. 3 

Leviticus 27:33

Context
27:33 The owner 4  must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it, 5  both the original animal 6  and its substitute will be holy. 7  It must not be redeemed.’”

1 tn Heb “or from all which he swears on it to falsehood.”

2 tn Heb “in its head.” This refers “the full amount” in terms of the “principal,” the original item or amount obtained illegally (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:338; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 84).

3 tn Heb “to whom it is to him he shall give it in the day of his being guilty.” The present translation is based on the view that he has been found guilty through the legal process (see the note on v. 4 above; cf., e.g., TEV and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 33-34). Others translate the latter part as “in the day he offers his guilt [reparation] offering” (e.g., NIV and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 73, 84), or “in the day he realizes his guilt” (e.g., NRSV and J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:319, 338).

4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the owner of the animal) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Heb “And if exchanging [infinitive absolute] he exchanges it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

6 tn Heb “it and its substitute.” The referent (the original animal offered) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

7 tn Heb “it shall be and its substitute shall be holy.”
