¹ tn The perfect tense with the vav (ו) continues the sequence of instruction for Moses. He alone was to be the mediator, to guide them in the religious and moral instruction.

² tn The verb and its following prepositional phrase form a relative clause, modifying “the way.” The imperfect tense should be given the nuance of obligatory imperfect – it is the way they must walk.

³ tn This last part is parallel to the preceding: “work” is also a direct object of the verb “make known,” and the relative clause that qualifies it also uses an obligatory imperfect.

⁴ tn Heb “and they.” The word “artisans” is supplied as the referent of the pronoun, a connection that is clearer in Hebrew than in English.

⁵ tn Heb “receive” or “take.”

⁷ tn Heb “you will take” (perfect with vav, ו).

⁸ tn Heb “and you will anoint” (perfect with vav, ו).

⁹ tn Heb “and you will sanctify” (perfect with vav, ו).
