Polyglot Bible: Leviticus: Leviticus 6

This is a trilingual parallel presentation of Leviticus chapters 5–6 (portions), displaying the same biblical text simultaneously in three versions: the English King James Version (with embedded Strong's concordance numbers for each Hebrew word), the Greek Septuagint, and the Hebrew Masoretic Text. The passage belongs to the Priestly legislation of the Torah, laying out detailed ritual law for Israelite worship and atonement. The content covers four distinct legal sections: the trespass (guilt) offering, prescribing restitution of the principal plus one-fifth and a sacrificial ram when someone sins through deception, theft, or lying about found property; the perpetual burnt offering, requiring the altar fire to burn continuously, never extinguished, with the priest performing specific ash-removal and wood-adding duties each morning; the grain offering (mincha), of which the officiating priests eat the unleavened remainder in the sanctuary courtyard; and the sin offering (chatat), slaughtered in the same location as the burnt offering, eaten by the performing priest, with contaminated vessels to be broken or scoured. A notable subordinate regulation governs the high priest's own daily grain offering, which—unlike the people's offering—must be entirely burnt rather than eaten. The format's distinctive feature is its scholarly apparatus: the KJV column interleaves Strong's numbers after nearly every word, making it a resource for word-level comparison between the English translation and the underlying Hebrew lexicon. Someone deciding whether to read this in full would find it most useful as a reference tool for Hebrew-English-Greek lexical study of Levitical ritual law, rather than as devotional or narrative reading.
