TSNTyndale Study Notes:

18:1-32 The instructions given here arose from the need demonstrated in ch 17 for clear boundaries between the people and the priests and Levites. The distinctive privileges of the Levites were matched by significant responsibilities. One very important aspect of their work was to safeguard the Tabernacle from unauthorized entry (ch 16).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) You must sprinkle their blood

(Some words not found in UHB: but firstborn ox or firstborn sheep or firstborn goat not redeem holy they DOM blood,their sprinkle on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar and=DOM fat,their burn offering_made_by_fire for,aroma pleasing to/for=YHWH )

That he must kill the animals first can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “You must kill them and sprinkle their blood”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) made by fire

(Some words not found in UHB: but firstborn ox or firstborn sheep or firstborn goat not redeem holy they DOM blood,their sprinkle on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar and=DOM fat,their burn offering_made_by_fire for,aroma pleasing to/for=YHWH )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that you make by fire” or “that you burn with fire on the altar”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) an aroma pleasing to Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: but firstborn ox or firstborn sheep or firstborn goat not redeem holy they DOM blood,their sprinkle on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar and=DOM fat,their burn offering_made_by_fire for,aroma pleasing to/for=YHWH )

The Lord’s pleasure with the aroma represents his pleasure with the person who burns the offering. Alternate translation: “and Yahweh will be pleased with you”
