Numbers 35:2

35:2 “Instruct the Israelites to give ¹  the Levites towns to live in from the inheritance the Israelites ²  will possess. You must also give the Levites grazing land around the towns.

Numbers 35:32

35:32 And you must not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a town of refuge, to allow him to return home and live on his own land before the death of the high priest. ³ 

¹ tn The verb is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive: “command…and they will give,” or “that they give.”

² tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “the priest.” The Greek and the Syriac have “high priest.” The present translation, along with many English versions, uses “high priest” as a clarification.
