Keluaran 4:30

4:30 Aaron spoke ¹  all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and did the signs in the sight of the people,

Keluaran 24:2

24:2 Moses alone may come ²  near the Lord, but the others ³  must not come near, ⁴  nor may the people go up with him.”

[4:30]  ¹ tn Heb “And Aaron spoke.”

[24:2]  ² tn The verb is a perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive; it and the preceding perfect tense follow the imperative, and so have either a force of instruction, or, as taken here, are the equivalent of an imperfect tense (of permission).

[24:2]  ³ tn Heb “they.”

[24:2]  ⁴ tn Now the imperfect tense negated is used; here the prohibition would fit (“they will not come near”), or the obligatory (“they must not”) in which the subjects are obliged to act – or not act in this case.
