Bilangan 17:10

The Memorial

17:10 The Lord said to Moses, “Bring Aaron’s staff back before the testimony to be preserved for a sign to the rebels, so that you may bring their murmurings to an end ¹  before me, that they will not die.” ² 

Ibrani 9:4

9:4 It contained the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered entirely with gold. In this ark ³  were the golden urn containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

[17:10]  ¹ tn The verb means “to finish; to complete” and here “to bring to an end.” It is the imperfect following the imperative, and so introduces a purpose clause (as a final imperfect).

[17:10]  ² tn This is another final imperfect in a purpose clause.

[9:4]  ³ tn Grk “in which”; in the translation the referent (the ark) has been specified for clarity.
