Numbers 5:8

Context
5:8 But if the individual has no close relative 1  to whom reparation can be made for the wrong, the reparation for the wrong must be paid to the Lord 2  for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him.

Numbers 6:21

Context

6:21 “This is the law 3  of the Nazirite who vows to the Lord his offering according to his separation, as well as whatever else he can provide. 4  Thus he must fulfill 5  his vow that he makes, according to the law of his separation.”

1 sn For more information on the word, see A. R. Johnson, “The Primary Meaning of גאל,” VTSup 1 (1953): 67-77.

2 tc The editors of BHS prefer to follow the Greek, Syriac, and Latin and not read “for the Lord” here, but read a form of the verb “to be” instead. But the text makes more sense as it stands: The payment is to be made to the Lord for the benefit of the priests.

3 tn Actually, “law” here means a whole set of laws, the basic rulings on this topic.

4 tn Heb “whatever else his hand is able to provide.” The imperfect tense has the nuance of potential imperfect – “whatever he can provide.”

5 tn Heb “according to the vow that he vows, so he must do.”
