Translation commentary on Leviticus 9:18

While neither Revised Standard Version nor Good News Translation has translated the conjunction at the beginning of this verse, the word “Finally” is used in New American Bible to show that this is the conclusion of a series of events.

Killed: or “slaughtered.” See 1.5.

The ox … and the ram: see verse 4.

Peace offering: Good News Translation “fellowship offering.” See chapter 3.

Delivered: see verses 12-14.

Threw upon the altar round about: see 1.5.
