The burnt offering · Leviticus 1–7
The burnt offering (Leviticus 1–7) read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew - plain modern English, nothing added.
Translator's notes:
• Leviticus 1:9 — רֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ (reyach nichoach): chose "a pleasing scent". Alternatives: a soothing aroma; a scent of rest. Why: the idiom describes an offering as pleasing, but its literal components are debated.
• Leviticus 1:16 — מֻרְאָה (mur'ah): chose "its crop". Alternatives: its craw; its stomach contents. Why: the term for this part of the bird is uncertain.
• Leviticus 2:2 — אַזְכָּרָה (azkarah): chose "memorial portion"…
