Leviticus 1:16

Then the priest ¹  must remove its entrails by cutting off its tail feathers, ²  and throw them ³  to the east side of the altar into the place of fatty ashes,

He is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, where the ashes are.

‘He shall also take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the ashes.

The priest must remove the crop and the feathers and throw them to the east side of the altar among the ashes.

remove the gizzard and its contents, and throw them on the east side of the Altar where the ashes are piled.

And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:

He shall remove its crop with its contents and throw it at the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes.

‘And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes.

Then the priest ¹  must remove its entrails by cutting off its tail feathers, ²  and throw them ³  to the east side of the altar into the place of fatty ashes,

¹ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (apparently still the priest) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn This translation (“remove its entrails by [cutting off] its tail feathers”) is based on the discussion in J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:169-71, although he translates, “remove its crissum by its feathers.” Others possibilities include “its crop with its contents” (Tg. Onq., cf. NIV, NRSV; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 23) or “its crop with its feathers” (LXX, NASB, RSV; “crop” refers to the enlarged part of a bird’s gullet that serves a pouch for the preliminary maceration of food).

³ tn The pronoun “them” here is feminine singular in Hebrew and refers collectively to the entrails and tail wing which have been removed.
