Numbers 36:5

Moses’ Decision

36:5 Then Moses gave a ruling ⁴  to the Israelites by the word ⁵  of the Lord: “What the tribe of the Josephites is saying is right.

[27:7]  ¹ tn Heb “[the daughters of Zelophehad] speak right” (using the participle דֹּבְרֹת [dovÿrot] with כֵּן [ken]).

[27:7]  ² tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute with the imperfect tense. The imperfect is functioning as the imperfect of instruction, and so the infinitive strengthens the force of the instruction.

[27:7]  ³ tn The verb is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive, from the root עָבַר (’avar, “to pass over”). Here it functions as the equivalent of the imperfect of instruction: “and you shall cause to pass,” meaning, “transfer.”

[36:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “commanded.”

[36:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “mouth.”
