Numbers 6:23

Context
6:23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is the way 1  you are to bless 2  the Israelites. Say 3  to them:

1 tn Or “thus.”

2 tn The Piel imperfect has the nuance of instruction. The particle “thus” explains that the following oracle is the form to use.

3 tn Here is the only use of the verb אָמַר (’amar) as an infinitive absolute; it functions as a verb form, an imperative or an imperfect of instruction. Several commentators have attempted to emend the text to get around the difficulty, but such emendations are unnecessary.
