Bilangan 8:16

8:16 For they are entirely given ⁴  to me from among the Israelites. I have taken them for myself instead of ⁵  all who open the womb, the firstborn sons of all the Israelites.

[4:19]  ¹ tn The word order is different in the Hebrew text: Do this…and they will live. Consequently, the verb “and they will live” is a perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive to express the future consequence of “doing this” for them.

[4:19]  ² tn The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive continues the instruction for Aaron.

[4:19]  ³ tn The distributive sense is obtained by the repetition, “a man” and “a man.”

[8:16]  ⁴ tn As before, the emphasis is obtained by repeating the passive participle: “given, given to me.”

[8:16]  ⁵ tn Or “as substitutes” for all the firstborn of the Israelites.
