The Key Word חַטָּ֖את, cha.Tatgenerated

The Hebrew word חַטָּאת (cha.Tat) refers to sin, guilt, or punishment, and also denotes the sacrifice made to atone for sin. It encompasses both the act of sinning and the consequences that follow, including the purification process necessary for restoring one's relationship with God.

This term is crucial in the context of the sacrificial system, as it signifies the offering that addresses guilt and seeks atonement. The use of חַטָּאת here underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for a tangible act of repentance and restoration.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

All translations agree on the meaning of חַטָּ֖את as a sin offering, reflecting the necessity of atonement in the sacrificial system.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb תִּשְׂרֹ֣ף (you will burn) governs the entire verse, directing the action to burn the specified parts of the bull. The structure follows a clear sequence, detailing what is to be burned and where it is to occur.

The sentence is constructed with multiple noun phrases detailing the objects of the burning, culminating in the declaration of the offering's nature as a sin offering, which serves as the predicate.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates חַטָּ֖את as ἁμαρτίας (hamartias), which also means sin. This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but broadens the understanding to include the concept of sin in a more general sense, emphasizing the offering's purpose.

The translation of the other terms maintains the focus on the sacrificial act, reflecting the importance of these rituals in the context of sin and atonement.

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree on the essential elements of the verse, with the Septuagint providing a direct correspondence for each Hebrew term. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly, using the word היא (she) instead of the masculine pronoun, indicating a different perspective on the offering's nature.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite.

Fire

(1.) For sacred purposes. The sacrifices were consumed by fire (Gen. 8:20). The ever-burning fire on the altar was first kindled from heaven (Lev. 6:9, 13; 9:24), and afterwards rekindled at the dedication of Solomon’s temple (2 Chr. 7:1, 3). The expressions “fire from heaven” and “fire of the Lord” generally denote lightning, but sometimes also the fire of the altar was so called (Ex. 29:18; Lev. 1:9; 2:3; 3:5, 9).

Fire for a sacred purpose obtained otherwise than from the altar was called “strange fire” (Lev. 10:1, 2;

is represented as the symbol of Jehovah’s presence and the instrument of his power, in the way either of approval or of destruction. (Exodus 3:2; 14:19) etc. There could not be a better symbol for Jehovah than this of fire, it being immaterial, mysterious, but visible, warming, cheering, comforting, but also terrible and consuming. Parallel with this application of fire and with its symbolical meaning are to be noted the similar use for sacrificial purposes and the respect paid to it, or to the heavenly bodies as symbols of deity, which prevailed among so many nations of antiquity, and of which the traces are not even now extinct; e.g. the Sabean and Magian systems of worship.

Camp

During their journeys across the wilderness, the twelve tribes formed encampments at the different places where they halted (Ex. 16:13; Num. 2:3). The diagram here given shows the position of the different tribes and the form of the encampment during the wanderings, according to Num. 1:53; 2:2-31; 3:29, 35, 38; 10:13-28.

The area of the camp would be in all about 3 square miles. After the Hebrews entered Palestine, the camps then spoken of were exclusively warlike (Josh. 11:5, 7; Judg. 5:19, 21; 7:1; 1 Sam. 29:1; 30:9, etc.).

On the day of Atonement it was made with special solemnity (Lev. 16:5, 11, 15). The blood was then carried into the holy of holies and sprinkled on the mercy-seat. Sin-offerings were also presented at the five annual festivals (Num. 28, 29), and on the occasion of the consecration of the priests (Ex. 29:10-14, 36). As each individual, even the most private member of the congregation, as well as the congregation at large, and the high priest, was obliged, on being convicted by his conscience of any particular sin, to come with a sin-offering, we see thus impressively disclosed the need in…
