| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “the thing that.” 2 tn The perfect tense could be taken as a definite past with Moses now reporting it. In this case a very recent past. But in declaring the word from Yahweh it could be instantaneous, and receive a present tense translation – “here and now he commands you.” 3 tn The form is the plural imperative: “Gather [you] each man according to his eating.” 4 sn The omer is an amount mentioned only in this chapter, and its size is unknown, except by comparison with the ephah (v. 36). A number of recent English versions approximate the omer as “two quarts” (cf. NCV, CEV, NLT); TEV “two litres.” 5 tn Heb “for a head.” 6 tn The word “number” is an accusative that defines more precisely how much was to be gathered (see GKC 374 §118.h). 7 tn Traditionally “souls.” 8 tn Heb “will take.” 9 tn “lives” has been supplied. |
