Leviticus 8:25-27
New English Translation

25 Then he took the fat (the fatty tail,[a] all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat[b]) and the right thigh,[c] 26 and from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one unleavened loaf, one loaf of bread mixed with olive oil, and one wafer,[d] and placed them on the fat parts and on the right thigh. 27 He then put all of them on the palms[e] of Aaron and his sons, who waved[f] them as a wave offering before the Lord.[g]

Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 8:25 tn See Lev 3:9.
  2. Leviticus 8:25 tn See Lev 8:16.
  3. Leviticus 8:25 tn See Lev 7:32-34.
  4. Leviticus 8:26 tn See Lev 2:4.
  5. Leviticus 8:27 sn The “palms” refer to the up-turned hands, positioned in such a way that the articles of the offering could be placed on them.
  6. Leviticus 8:27 tn Heb “and he waved.” The subject of the verb “he waved” is Aaron, but Aaron’s sons also performed the action (see “Aaron and his sons” just previously). See the similar shifts from Moses to Aaron as the subject of the action above (vv. 15, 16, 19, 20, 23), and esp. the note on Lev 8:15. In the present translation this is rendered as an adjectival clause (“who waved”) to indicate that the referent is not Moses but Aaron and his sons. Cf. CEV “who lifted it up”; NAB “whom he had wave” (with “he” referring to Moses here).
  7. Leviticus 8:27 sn See Lev 7:30-31, 34.
