1 tn This is supplied to the line to clarify “appointed.”
2 tn Heb “and.”
3 sn One would assume that he would prepare and wrap these items, but that the Kohathites would carry them to the next place.
4 tn The idea of לִשְׁגָגָה (lishgagah) seems to be that of “inadvertence” or “without intent.” The text gives no indication of how this offense might be committed, or what it might include. It probably describes any transgressions done in ignorance of the Law that involved a violation of tabernacle procedure or priestly protocol or social misdemeanor. Even though it was done unintentionally, it was still a violation and called for ritual purification.
5 tn Heb “[away] from the eyes of the community.”
6 tn Heb “from the fire.” It probably refers to those parts that were not burned.
7 tn Heb “as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering.”
