Leviticus 4:23

or his sin that he committed ¹  is made known to him, ²  he must bring a flawless male goat as his offering. ³ 

When he is made aware of the sin he committed, he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.

if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without defect.

When he becomes aware of his sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat with no physical defects.

When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring a goat for his offering, a male without any defect,

When the sin which he has done is made clear to him, let him give for his offering a goat, a male without any mark.

once the sin that he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish.

‘or if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish.

or his sin that he committed ¹  is made known to him, ²  he must bring a flawless male goat as his offering. ³ 

¹ tn Heb “or his sin which he sinned in it is made known to him”; NAB “if he learns of the sin he committed.”

² tn Lev 4:22b-23a is difficult. The present translation suggests that there are two possible legal situations envisioned, separated by the Hebrew אוֹ (’o, “or”) at the beginning of v. 23. Lev 4:22b refers to any case in which the leader readily admits his guilt (i.e., “pleads guilty”), whereas v. 23a refers to cases where the leader is convicted of his guilt by legal action (“his sin…is made known to him”). See R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 2:95-96; Lev 4:27-28; and esp. the notes on Lev 5:1 below.

³ tn Heb “a he-goat of goats, a male without defect”; cf. NLT “with no physical defects.”
