¹ tn The construction here is a little different. The Hebrew text uses the participle in construct plural: שֹׁמְרֵי (shomÿrey, literally “keepers of”). The form specifies the duties of the 8,600 Kohathites. The genitive that follows this participle is the cognate מִשְׁמֶרֶת (mishmeret) that has been used before. So the expression indicates that they were responsible for the care of this part of the cult center. There is no reason to delete one of the forms (as does J. A. Paterson, Numbers, 42), for the repetition stresses the central importance of their work.

² tn Heb “the people who I am in their midst,” i.e., among whom I am.

³ tn The Hebrew sentence stresses the number. The sentence begins “600,000….”

⁴ tn The word order places the object first here: “Meat I will give them.” This adds to the contrast between the number and the statement of the Lord.

⁵ tn The verb is the perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive, carrying the sequence from the preceding imperfect tense. However, this verb may be subordinated to the preceding to express a purpose clause.

³ tn Heb “princes” (so KJV, ASV).

⁴ tn These men must have been counselors or judges of some kind.

⁵ tn Heb “men of name,” or “men of renown.”

⁴ tn Heb “and take, a man, his censer.”

⁵ tn This verb and the following one are both perfect tenses with vav (ו) consecutives. Following the imperative they carry the same force, but in sequence.

⁵ sn This is a significant reduction from the first count of 40,500.

⁶ tn Heb “people.”

⁷ tn Heb “had plundered.”
