Numbers 5:3

5:3 You must expel both men and women; you must put them outside the camp, so that ¹  they will not defile their camps, among which I live.”

Numbers 24:2

24:2 When Balaam lifted up his eyes, he saw Israel camped tribe by tribe; ²  and the Spirit of God came upon him.

[5:3]  ¹ tn The imperfect tense functions here as a final imperfect, expressing the purpose of putting such folks outside the camp. The two preceding imperfects (repeated for emphasis) are taken here as instruction or legislation.

[24:2]  ² tn Heb “living according to their tribes.”
