Bilangan 18:22

18:22 No longer may the Israelites approach the tent of meeting, or else they will bear their sin ¹  and die.

Bilangan 27:19

27:19 set him ²  before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community, and commission ³  him publicly. ⁴ 

[18:22]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive construct of the verb “to bear” with the lamed (ל) preposition to express the result of such an action. “To bear their sin” would mean that they would have to suffer the consequences of their sin.

[27:19]  ² tn This could be translated “position him,” or “have him stand,” since it is the causative stem of the verb “to stand.”

[27:19]  ³ tn The verb is the Piel perfect of צִוָּה (tsivvah, literally “to command”). The verb has a wide range of meanings, and so here in this context the idea of instructing gives way to a more general sense of commissioning for duty. The verb in sequence is equal to the imperfect of instruction.

[27:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “in their eyes.”
