Leviticus 9:19-21
New English Translation
19 As for the fat parts from the ox and from the ram[a] (the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails,[b] the kidneys, and the protruding lobe of the liver), 20 they[c] set those on the breasts and he offered the fat parts up in smoke on the altar. 21 Finally Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord just as Moses had commanded.

- Leviticus 9:19 tn Heb “And the fat from the ox and from the ram.”
- Leviticus 9:19 tn The text here has only the participle “the cover” or “that which covers,” which is elliptical for “the fat which covers the entrails” (see Lev 3:3, 9, 14; 7:3).
- Leviticus 9:20 tn The plural “they” refers to the sons of Aaron (cf. v. 18). The LXX, Smr, and Syriac have singular “he,” referring to Aaron alone as in the latter half of the verse (the singular is followed here by NLT). Cf. NCV “Aaron’s sons put them.”
