Leviticus 7:37,38

These verses seem at first sight to form a general conclusion to chs. 1 7, but as the order in which the sacrifices are mentioned is closely connected with that in Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 8:34, it must be regarded as a conclusion to that section 1 [50]. The words - and of the consecration" probably are intended as a reterence to Leviticus 6:19-23; whether it is to be regarded as an addition depends upon the view taken of that section, and of the words -in the day when he is anointed" in Leviticus 6:20 (see pp. 30 ff.).

[50] It is possible that the last clause of Leviticus 7:38 may refer to chs. 1 6:7.
