Numbers 4:1

The Service of the Kohathites

4:1 ¹ Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Numbers 7:50

7:50 one gold pan weighing 10 shekels, full of incense;

Numbers 7:2

7:2 Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their clans, ²  made an offering. They were the leaders of the tribes; they were the ones who had been supervising ³  the numbering.

Numbers 12:13

12:13 Then Moses cried to the Lord, “Heal her now, O God.” ⁴ 

Numbers 25:14

25:14 Now the name of the Israelite who was stabbed – the one who was stabbed with the Midianite woman – was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of a clan ⁵  of the Simeonites.

Jeremiah 52:18

52:18 They also took the pots, shovels, ⁶  trimming shears, ⁷  basins, pans, and all the bronze utensils used by the priests. ⁸ 

¹ sn The chapter has four main parts to it: Kohathites (1-20), Gershonites (21-28), Merarites (29-33) and the census of the Levites (34-49).

² tn Heb “the house of their fathers.”

³ tn The form is the Qal active participle from the verb “to stand” (עָמַד, ’amad). The form describes these leaders as “the ones standing over [the ones numbered].” The expression, along with the clear indication of the first census in chapter 1, shows that this was a supervisory capacity.

⁴ tc Some scholars emend אֵל (’el, “God”) to עַל(’al, “no”). The effect of this change may be seen in the NAB: “‘Please, not this! Pray, heal her!’”

⁵ tn Heb “a father’s house.” So also in v. 15.

⁶ sn These shovels were used to clean the altar.

⁷ sn These trimming shears were used to trim the wicks of the lamps.

⁸ tn Heb “with which they served (or “fulfilled their duty”).”
