| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “If her hand cannot find the sufficiency of a sheep.” Many English versions render this as “lamb.” 2 tn Heb “from the sons of the pigeon,” referring either to “young pigeons” or “various species of pigeon” (contrast J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:168, with J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 14; cf. Lev 1:14 and esp. 5:7-10). 3 tn Or “she will be[come] pure.” |
