THE HOLY BIBLE (Darby Translation) Darby's Notes on Leviticus

1:2a, 1:3a offering: Corban, 'present,' noun derived from the verb translated 'present.'
1:3b, 1:4b burnt-offering: The Hebrew words for the four offerings are: olah -- burnt-offering; minchah -- food-offering; shelem -- peace-offering; chataath -- sin-offering. See Ps. 40:6.
1:3c blemish: Perfect: see ch. 22:22, 24.
1:4d lay: See Ex. 29:10; Lev. 3:2, 8, 13; 4:4, 15, 24, 29, 33, &c.
1:4e atonement: See Note g, ch. 5:6.
1:5f slaughter: Or 'kill,' and so elsewhere.
1:5g bullock: Or 'calf.'
1:8h fat: The Hebrew word is only used in relation to the burnt-offering and only three times; so ver. 12 and ch. 8:20.
1:9i burn: Properly 'burn as incense,' but applied also to the burnt-offering and to the fat; see Ex. 29:13, and vers. 13, 15, 17; ch. 2:2, 9, 11, 16; 3:5, 16, &c.
1:9a odour: Or 'offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah;' and so in each case where this formula is found. See ch. 4:31.
1:10b, 1:14b offering: Corban, see Note ver. 2.
1:15c bring: Elsewhere 'present.'
1:16d feathers: Or 'refuse.'
1:16e ashes: The word is used for fat, but the remains of what was burnt, fat and ashes and all, were thrown aside.
2:1f oblation: Minchah, 'gift,' 'food-offering.' 'Oblation' will always represent this word.
2:1g flour: The finest part of wheat flour: see Ex. 29:2.
2:2h burn: See Note i, ch. 1:9.
2:4i cakes: A kind of thin cake with holes in it.
2:4k, 2:5k mingled: It cannot, I think, be doubted that this is more than, and intended to be more than 'anointed.' 'Mixed,' 'mingled,' is the sense of the word. In Ps. 92:10 it is not merely 'anointed' as consecration, but his whole system is invigorated and strengthened by it: it formed his strength; hence it is 'fresh oil' there.
2:9l take: Or 'heave:' so chs. 4:10, 19; 6:10, 15.
2:11a burn: See Note i, ch. 1:9.
2:12b, 3:1b offering: Corban, 'gift,' or 'present,' see ch. 1:2. 'First-fruits,' here in ver. 12, is 'beginning,' Gen. 1:1. The word for 'firstfruits' in ver. 14 is more strictly in general for 'first-born;' first-ripe in Jer. 24:2; Hos. 9:10.
2:12c offered: Lit. 'shall not ascend:' see ch. 14:20; Gen. 8:20; 22:13, &c.; Ex. 25:37.
2:13d offer: Or 'present.
2:14e ears: Or 'peeled grain of fresh ears;' or 'the fruits of the tilled field.'
3:5f odour: See Note a, ch. 1:9.
3:11a, 3:16a food: Lit. 'bread.'
4:2b sin: Chata, to sin: so also vers 3, 14, 22, 27. and elsewhere. See Note b, ch. 5:1. 'Sin' and 'sin offering' here are from the same root in Hebrew: see Note h, Gen. 4:7.
4:10c ox: Animal of the herd, male or female.
4:10d burn: See Note i, ch. 1:9.
4:12e he: Or 'one:' so ver. 21.
4:12f out: See Note e, ch. 1:16.
4:12g burn, burnt: 'Consume wholly:' so ver. 21; chs. 6:30; 7:17, 19; 8:17; 9:11; 10:16; 16:27. See Ex. 29:34.
4:15a one: The expression 'one shall slaughter' has interest in respect of the point where self-offering and mediatorial work begins. It was not the priest who slaughtered, unless he were the guilty one (ver. 4), and then it is not as priest. I do not know that it is more precise in vers. 4 and 24.
4:22b prince: Or 'principal man,' 'ruler.'
4:23c, 4:28c offering: 'Corban,' see ch. 1:2.
4:27d one: Lit. 'one soul.'
4:32a offering: Corban, see ch. 1:2.
5:1b sin: Chata, 'to sin,' as in ch. 4:2, 3, is departure from the right. First used Gen. 4:7. Asham, 'guilty,' vers. 2, 3, 4, 5, 17, is guilty as regards one we are responsible to -- here God of course.
5:1c adjuration: See Matt. 26:63; Num. 5:21; 1Kings 8:31; Prov. 29:24.
5:1d he: The word has the force of 'because he is a witness,' practically.
5:2e, 5:3e, 5:4e, 5:5e guilty: See Note b, ver. 1.
5:6f trespass-offering, 5:7f trespass: The Hebrew word for trespass is derived from a verb translated, 'be guilty,' ver. 2 and elsewhere.
5:6g atonement: Here is seen the use of 'atonement,' Heb. kaphar, to cover. It is a thing done for men towards God. It is not 'sprinkling,' 'washing,' nor exactly 'propitiation,' though that be nearer; but there was guilt on the man, a moral offensiveness which had to be removed out of God's sight. So it was in the offering. It was really bringing his trespass to God in the offering, but in the way of a given atonement for it, by entering into it as his. In ver. 7 it is lit. 'he shall bring his trespass offering which he hath sinned.' For the burnt-offering, which was also to make atonement kaphar, see ch. 1:4.
5:11a offering: Corban see ch. 1:2.
5:11b thereon: See Num. 5:15.
5:16c in: Lit. 'from.'
5:17d guilty, 5:19d trespassed: As 'guilty,' ver. 2. See Note b, ver. 1.
5:18e trespass-offering: Or 'according to thy valuation of the trespass.'
6:2f wronged: As 'defraud,' 1Sam. 12:3. LXX has 'injured.'
6:9a hearth: Or 'because of the burning,' 'place of burning.' It is the only place in which the word is found.
6:10b ashes: See ch. 1:16.
6:15c take: Or 'heave.'
6:18d children: Or sons.'
6:18e whatever: Or 'whoever.'
6:20f offering: Corban.
6:22g burned: See ch. 1:9.
6:27a that: Or 'whoever'.
6:30b in: Here it is the place of atonement 'in the sanctuary;' in ch. 17:11 it is 'in the matter of souls' -- lit. 'in souls.'
7:12c with: Lit 'on.'
7:12d cakes: See Notes i and k, ch. 2:4.
7:14e whole: Others, 'of each offering.'
7:14f heave-offering: See Note, ch. 8:27.
7:15g remain: 'Shall not lay aside,' same word as 'laid up' in Ex. 16:24.
7:18a thing: Ezek. 4:14.
7:29b offering: Corban.
7:31c burn: See ch. 1:9.
7:32d, 7:34d heave-offering, 7:34d wave-offering: See Note, ch. 8:27.
7:38a offerings: Corban.
8:7b him: Lit. 'ephoded him with it:' Ex. 28:8; 29:5. The girdle of the ephod, which had a peculiar name, bound the ephod as well as the cloak, which was called the 'cloak of the ephod.' The other girdle was on the vest or shirt.

8:15g for: Or 'upon,' as Ex. 30:10.
8:21h he: Or 'one.'
8:27a wave-offering: My impression is that 'wave-offering' is more 'consecration;' see Ex. 29:24: and 'heave-offering' more 'offering;' see Ex. 25:2, 3.
8:28b burned: See ch. 1:9.
8:28c consecration-offering: Lit. 'filling of hand:' see ver. 33; Ex. 28:41.
8:33d consecrated: Lit. 'shall your hands be filled:' so chs. 16:32; 21:10: see 9:17, 'took a handful.'
