Numbers 15:14-16

Context
15:14 If a resident foreigner is living 1  with you – or whoever is among you 2  in future generations 3  – and prepares an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he must do it the same way you are to do it. 4  15:15 One statute must apply 5  to you who belong to the congregation and to the resident foreigner who is living among you, as a permanent 6  statute for your future generations. You and the resident foreigner will be alike 7  before the Lord. 15:16 One law and one custom must apply to you and to the resident foreigner who lives alongside you.’”

[15:14]  2 tn Heb “in your midst.”

[15:14]  3 tn The Hebrew text just has “to your generations,” but it means in the future.

[15:14]  4 tn The imperfect tenses must reflect the responsibility to comply with the law, and so the classifications of instruction or obligation may be applied.

[15:15]  5 tn The word “apply” is supplied in the translation.

[15:15]  6 tn Or “a statute forever.”
