But: this marks the contrast between the requirements for the leftover grain offering in the previous verse and the fellowship offering here.

That is waved: see 7.30.

In any clean place: the Septuagint has “holy” instead of clean here. But this is incorrect, since the text intentionally makes a difference. The grain offering was to be eaten only by the priests and therefore in a “holy” place (beside the altar); but the fellowship offering could be eaten by the entire family of the priest, including the daughters, and therefore could not be in the Holy Place, but could be in any place that was ritually clean. In languages where the word for “holy” is the same as the word for clean, special care should be taken to ensure that the idea of any ritually clean place is conveyed here. The technical term used for “the Holy Place” should be avoided.

Your sons and your daughters: Good News Translation translates this simply as “your children,” but in some languages this may not be adequate to emphasize the fact that daughters as well as sons were permitted to eat of this offering. It may be better to say “your sons and also your daughters,” or “your female children as well as the males,” or “the women in the priestly family as well as the men.” There is no indication elsewhere in the Old Testament that Aaron had any daughters, but there is no proof that he did not. However, this regulation is intended as a general one that is applied to the descendants of Aaron as well as to the immediate situation.

Peace offerings: Good News Translation “fellowship offerings.” See 3.1.
