Numbers 3:10

3:10 So you are to appoint Aaron and his sons, and they will be responsible for their priesthood; ¹  but the unauthorized person ²  who comes near must be put to death.”

Numbers 3:38

3:38 But those who were to camp in front of the tabernacle on the east, in front of the tent of meeting, were Moses, Aaron, ³  and his sons. They were responsible for the needs ⁴  of the sanctuary and for the needs of the Israelites, but the unauthorized person who approached was to be put to death.

Numbers 18:4-7

18:4 They must join ⁵  with you, and they will be responsible for the care of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent, but no unauthorized person ⁶  may approach you. 18:5 You will be responsible for the care of the sanctuary and the care of the altar, so that there will be ⁷  no more wrath on the Israelites. 18:6 I myself have chosen ⁸  your brothers the Levites from among the Israelites. They are given to you as a gift from the Lord, to perform the duties ⁹  of the tent of meeting. 18:7 But you and your sons with you are responsible for your priestly duties, for everything at the altar and within the curtain. And you must serve. I give you the priesthood as a gift for service; but the unauthorized person who approaches must be put to death.”

Leviticus 22:10

22:10 “‘No lay person ¹⁰  may eat anything holy. Neither a priest’s lodger ¹¹  nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy,

Leviticus 22:2

22:2 “Tell Aaron and his sons that they must deal respectfully with the holy offerings ¹²  of the Israelites, which they consecrate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name. ¹³  I am the Lord.

Leviticus 26:18-20

26:18 “‘If, in spite of all these things, ¹⁴  you do not obey me, I will discipline you seven times more on account of your sins. ¹⁵  26:19 I will break your strong pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze. 26:20 Your strength will be used up in vain, your land will not give its yield, and the trees of the land ¹⁶  will not produce their fruit.

Jude 1:11

1:11 Woe to them! For they have traveled down Cain’s path, ¹⁷  and because of greed ¹⁸  have abandoned themselves ¹⁹  to ²⁰  Balaam’s error; hence, ²¹  they will certainly perish ²²  in Korah’s rebellion.

[3:10]  ¹ tc The LXX includes the following words here: “and all things pertaining to the altar and within the veil.” Cf. Num 18:7.

[3:10]  ² tn The word is זָר (zar), usually rendered “stranger, foreigner, pagan.” But in this context it simply refers to anyone who is not a Levite or a priest, an unauthorized person or intruder in the tabernacle. That person would be put to death.

[3:38]  ³ tc In some Hebrew mss and Smr “and Aaron” is not in the verse. The omission arose probably by scribal error with such repetitious material that could easily give rise to variant traditions.

[3:38]  ⁴ tn Here again the verb and its cognate noun are used: keeping the keep, or keeping charge over, or taking responsibility for the care of, or the like.

[18:4]  ⁵ tn Now the sentence uses the Niphal perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive from the same root לָוָה (lavah).

[18:4]  ⁶ tn The word is “stranger, alien,” but it can also mean Israelites here.

[18:5]  ⁷ tn The clause is a purpose clause, and the imperfect tense a final imperfect.

[18:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “taken.”

[18:6]  ⁹ tn The infinitive construct in this sentence is from עָבַד (’avad), and so is the noun that serves as its object: to serve the service.

[22:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “No stranger” (so KJV, ASV), which refers here to anyone other than the Aaronic priests. Some English versions reverse the negation and state positively: NIV “No one outside a priest’s family”; NRSV “Only a member of a priestly family”; CEV “Only you priests and your families.”

[22:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “A resident [תּוֹשָׁב (toshav) from יָשַׁב (yashav, “to dwell, to reside”)] of a priest.” The meaning of the term is uncertain. It could refer to a “guest” (NIV) or perhaps “bound servant” (NRSV; see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 149). In the translation “lodger” was used instead of “boarder” precisely because a boarder would be provided meals with his lodging, the very issue at stake here.

[22:2]  ¹² tn Heb “holy things,” which means the “holy offerings” in this context, as the following verses show. The referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they shall not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me.” The latter (relative) clause applies to the “the holy things of the sons of Israel” (the first clause), not the Lord’s name (i.e., the immediately preceding clause). The clause order in the translation has been rearranged to indicate this.

[26:18]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “And if until these.”

[26:18]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “I will add to discipline you seven [times] on your sins.”

[26:20]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the tree of the land will not give its fruit.” The collective singular has been translated as a plural. Tg. Onq., some medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “the field” as in v. 4, rather than “the land.”

[1:11]  ¹⁷ tn Or “they have gone the way of Cain.”

[1:11]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “for wages.”

[1:11]  ¹⁹ tn The verb ἐκχέω (ekcew) normally means “pour out.” Here, in the passive, it occasionally has a reflexive idea, as BDAG 312 s.v. 3. suggests (with extra-biblical examples).

[1:11]  ²⁰ tn Or “in.”

[1:11]  ²¹ tn Grk “and.” See note on “perish” later in this verse.

[1:11]  ²² tn The three verbs in this verse are all aorist indicative (“have gone down,” “have abandoned,” “have perished”). Although the first and second could be considered constative or ingressive, the last is almost surely proleptic (referring to the certainty of their future judgment). Although it may seem odd that a proleptic aorist is so casually connected to other aorists with a different syntactical force, it is not unparalleled (cf. Rom 8:30).
