39:38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

[29:42]  ¹ tn The translation has “regular” instead of “continually,” because they will be preparing this twice a day.

[29:42]  ² tn The relative clause identifies the place in front of the Tent as the place that Yahweh would meet Moses. The main verb of the clause is אִוָּעֵד (’ivva’ed), a Niphal imperfect of the verb יָעַד (ya’ad), the verb that is cognate to the name “tent of meeting” – hence the name. This clause leads into the next four verses.

[33:8]  ¹ tn The clause is introduced again with “and it was.” The perfect tense here with the vav (ו) is used to continue the sequence of actions that were done repeatedly in the past (see GKC 331-32 §112.e). The temporal clause is then formed with the infinitive construct of יָצָא (yatsa’), with “Moses” as the subjective genitive: “and it was according to the going out of Moses.”

[33:8]  ² tn Or “rise up.”

[33:8]  ³ tn The subject of this verb is specified with the individualizing use of “man”: “and all Israel would station themselves, each person (man) at the entrance to his tent.”

[33:8]  ⁴ tn The perfect tense with the vav (ו) continues the sequence of the customary imperfect. The people “would gaze” (after) Moses until he entered the tent.

[33:8]  ⁵ tn This is a temporal clause using an infinitive construct with a suffixed subject.

[33:9]  ¹ tn Heb “and it was when.”

[33:9]  ² tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:9]  ³ tn Both verbs, “stand” and “speak,” are perfect tenses with vav (ו) consecutive.

[38:8]  ¹ sn The word for “serve” is not the ordinary one. It means “to serve in a host,” especially in a war. It appears that women were organized into bands and served at the tent of meeting. S. R. Driver thinks that this meant “no doubt” washing, cleaning, or repairing (Exodus, 391). But there is no hint of that (see 1 Sam 2:22; and see Ps 68:11 [12 Hebrew text]). They seem to have had more to do than what Driver said.
