Leviticus 1:8

Context
1:8 Then the sons of Aaron, the priests, must arrange the parts with the head and the suet 1  on the wood that is in the fire on the altar. 2 

Leviticus 1:12

Context
1:12 Next, the one presenting the offering 3  must cut it into parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest must arrange them on the wood which is in the fire, on the altar.

1 tc A few Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Tg. Onq. have the conjunction “and” before “the head,” which would suggest the rendering “and the head and the suet” rather than the rendering of the MT here, “with the head and the suet.”

sn “Suet” is the specific term used for the hard, fatty tissues found around the kidneys of sheep and cattle. A number of modern English versions have simplified this to “fat” (e.g., NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

2 tn Heb “on the wood, which is on the fire, which is on the altar.” Cf. NIV “on the burning wood”; NLT “on the wood fire.”

3 tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (the offerer) has been specified in the translation for clarity (so also in v. 13).
