"... Apart from the errors that occurred during the transmission history of the text of Leviticus, literary considerations may explain some textual discrepancies. Indeed, there are cases in Leviticus where different readings allow different interpretations, so that one cannot easily assert that they are mistaken readings. Such interpretations can be observed for instance in Leviticus 9 and 24. It seems that the tasks of the high priest and those of the ordinary priests have been adjusted in some witnesses ... A reversed case occurs in Leviticus 24:3-4. Here the Masoretic text asserts that Aaron (the high priest) alone is in charge of preparing and kindling the lamps of the Menorah. However, according to the Samaritan Pentateuch and Septuagint, this task is attributed to “Aaron and his sons,” which means all of the priests.
