Translation commentary on Leviticus 15:15

Sin offering: see chapter 4.

Burnt offering: see chapter 1.

And: as in 14.52, the connection between the two sentences here will be much clearer if a different kind of transition is used. Good News Translation has “In this way”; Moffatt has “so.”

Make atonement for him: compare 12.7. See also 4.20.
