The Key Word — נָתַן, ve.na.ta.Tagenerated
The verb נָתַן (natan) means 'to give' or 'to put,' with a broad application in both everyday and sacred contexts. It signifies the act of placing or setting something down, which can encompass physical items as well as abstract concepts like authority or responsibility.
In this verse, it is used in the second person masculine singular, indicating a command directed at an individual, likely Moses, to perform the action of placing the items in the basket. This reflects the structured nature of the sacrificial system, where specific actions must be taken to fulfill God's instructions.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs נָתַתָּ֤ (you will put) and הִקְרַבְתָּ֥ (you will bring near) govern the main actions of the verse. The structure includes a noun phrase for the object and a prepositional phrase indicating the location.
The Hebrew word order places the verb first, emphasizing the action of putting items in the basket, followed by the details of what is to be presented. This order highlights the importance of the act of preparation in the sacrificial process.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נָתַן as ἐπιθήσεις (you will put), which carries a similar meaning. This choice reflects the intention of the Hebrew text while adapting to the Greek language's structure.
The use of κανοῦν for סַל indicates a direct correspondence to the concept of a basket, aligning closely with the Hebrew term and maintaining the imagery of the presentation.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "וְנָתַתָּ֤ אוֹתָם֙ עַל־ סַ֣ל אֶחָ֔ד וְהִקְרַבְתָּ֥ אֹתָ֖ם בַּסָּ֑ל וְאֶ֨ת־ הַפָּ֔ר וְאֵ֖ת שְׁנֵ֥י הָאֵילִֽם׃" The Septuagint aligns closely with the Masoretic Text, matching 12 out of 13 words, though it presents them in a different order. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs in two words: it uses "ונתתה" (give) instead of the Masoretic "וְנָתַתָּ֤" (you shall put), and it uses "אילים" (rams) instead of the Masoretic "הָאֵילִֽם" (the rams). The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q22) contain a partially restored text that agrees with the Masoretic Text on key phrases, but it has some words supplied by an editor, indicating some textual variations.
וְנָתַתָּ֤ אוֹתָם֙ עַל־ סַ֣ל אֶחָ֔ד וְהִקְרַבְתָּ֥ אֹתָ֖ם בַּסָּ֑ל וְאֶ֨ת־ הַפָּ֔ר וְאֵ֖ת שְׁנֵ֥י הָאֵילִֽם׃
12 of the 13 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
ונתתה אתם על סל אחד והקרבת אתם בסל ואת הפר ואת שׁני האילים
2 words differ from the Masoretic Text: נתתה (give), אילים (ram, despot)

put (puT; Phoud, in Genesis and Chronicles, variant for Genesis Phout, for Chronicles, Phouth):
1. Renderings:
In consequence of the identification at the time, the prophets have "Libya" (Libues), except Nab 3:9, where the Greek renders the word as phuge, "flight." The Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) has "Phut," "Phuth," and in the Prophets "Libyes" and "Libya"; the King James Version "Phut."
2. Son of Ham:
In the "Table of Nations" Put is the third son of Ham (Ge 10:6), the first and second being Cush and Misraim, and the fourth Canaan. Put is the only one of the sons of Ham who is not credited with descendants.

Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

bas'-ket: Four kinds of "baskets" come to view in the Old Testament under the Hebrew names, dudh, Tene', cal and kelubh. There is little, however, in these names, or in the narratives where they are found, to indicate definitely what the differences of size and shape and use were. The Mishna renders us some help in our uncertainty, giving numerous names and descriptions of "baskets" in use among the ancient Hebrews (see Kreugel, Dasse Hausgerat in der Mishna, 39-45). They were variously m ade of willow, rush, palm-leaf, etc., and were used for various purposes, domestic and agricultural, for instance, in gathering and serving fruit, collecting alms in kind for the poor, etc. Some had handles, others lids, some both, others neither.
1. Meaning of Old Testament Terms:
Basket
There are five different Hebrew words so rendered in the Authorized Version: (1.) A basket (Heb. sal, a twig or osier) for holding bread (Gen. 40:16; Ex. 29:3, 23; Lev. 8:2, 26, 31; Num. 6:15, 17, 19). Sometimes baskets were made of twigs peeled; their manufacture was a recognized trade among the Hebrews.
(2.) That used (Heb. salsilloth’) in gathering grapes (Jer. 6:9).
(3.) That in which the first fruits of the harvest were presented, Heb. tene, (Deut. 26:2, 4). It was also used for household purposes. In form it tapered downwards like that called corbis by the…
The Hebrew terms used in the description of this article are as follows: (1) Sal , so called from the twigs of which it was originally made, specially used for holding bread. (Genesis 40:16) ff. (Exodus 29:3,23; Leviticus 8:2,26,31; Numbers 6:15,17,19) (2) Salsilloth , a word of kindred origin, applied to the basket used in gathering grapes. (Jeremiah 6:9) (3) Tene , in which the first-fruits of the harvest were presented. (26:2,4) (4) Celub , so called from its similarity to a bird-cage. (5) Dud , used for carrying fruit, (Jeremiah 24:1,2) as well as on a larger scale…

bas'-ket: Four kinds of "baskets" come to view in the Old Testament under the Hebrew names, dudh, Tene', cal and kelubh. There is little, however, in these names, or in the narratives where they are found, to indicate definitely what the differences of size and shape and use were. The Mishna renders us some help in our uncertainty, giving numerous names and descriptions of "baskets" in use among the ancient Hebrews (see Kreugel, Dasse Hausgerat in der Mishna, 39-45). They were variously m ade of willow, rush, palm-leaf, etc., and were used for various purposes, domestic and agricultural, for instance, in gathering and serving fruit, collecting alms in kind for the poor, etc. Some had handles, others lids, some both, others neither.

(2.) That used (Heb. salsilloth’) in gathering grapes (Jer. 6:9).

(Jeremiah 6:9) (3) Tene , in which the first-fruits of the harvest were presented. (26:2,4) (4) Celub , so called from its similarity to a bird-cage.
