Bilangan 27:13

27:13 When you have seen it, you will be gathered ⁴  to your ancestors, ⁵  as Aaron your brother was gathered to his ancestors. ⁶ 

[20:24]  ¹ sn This is the standard poetic expression for death. The bones would be buried, often with the bones of relatives in the same tomb, giving rise to the expression.

[20:24]  ² tn The verb is in the second person plural form, and so it is Moses and Aaron who rebelled, and so now because of that Aaron first and then Moses would die without going into the land.

[20:24]  ³ tn Heb “mouth.”

[27:13]  ⁴ tn The first verb is a perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive, and the second verb is also. In such parallel clauses, the first may be subordinated, here as a temporal clause.

[27:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “people.”

[27:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “was gathered.” The phrase “to his ancestors” is elided in the Hebrew text, but is an implied repetition from the beginning of the verse, and has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
