Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 14 words from the Hebrew and 16 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — closely comparable.

A rough comparison of the two English renderings, which tokenize alike — not a word-level alignment.

Word counts can differ between the Hebrew and the Greek without any difference in meaning — e.g. the Hebrew direct-object marker אֵת has no separate Greek word, and Greek often adds the article ὁ.

Targum (Aramaic paraphrase)

The Targum is the ancient Jewish Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew Scriptures — an interpretive translation, not the Hebrew text itself. Onkelos (literal) and Pseudo-Jonathan (expansive) render the Torah, and Jonathan the Prophets. Coverage is partial: where no permissively-licensed English translation exists for a verse, only the Aramaic is shown. This is verse-level text, not a word-by-word alignment to the Hebrew.

Commentary

Notes on Leviticus 8:32 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(32) And that which remaineth.—That is, if any of the flesh or cakes was not eaten upon the day on which the sacrifice was offered, it had to be burnt, which was the law in the case of the peace offering. (See Lev_7:15; Lev_7:17; Exo_29:34.)

John Gill's Exposition

And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread,.... Until the next morning, which could not be eaten by Aaron and his sons:

shall ye burn with fire; that it might not be corrupted, nor put to common nor superstitious uses.

Ramban (Nachmanides)

Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (Ramban / Nachmanides)

AND THAT WHICH REMAINETH ‘BABASAR UBALACHEM.’ The letter beth in these two words [which means literally: “‘in’ the meat and ‘in’ the bread”] serves here as a mem the meaning thus being: “and that which remains ‘of’ the meat and ‘of’ the bread. ” Similarly: ‘bayom ha’shemini’ (‘on’ the eighth day), and forward [means miyom ha’shemini — “from” the eighth day on]; and they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel ‘bashanah hahi (‘in’ that year) eighteen years [means mishanah hahi — from’ that year].Scripture does not state: and that which remained “till the morning,” for they had already learned the law of the offerings and knew that these peace-offerings were to be regarded like the stricter offerings which are eaten for a day and a night, [since they were accompanied by breads like a thanks-offering]. Or it may be that Scripture speaks briefly here because it is explained in the section containing the command of these offerings, And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, [then thou shalt burn the remainder].
