Numbers 10:9
10:9 If you go to war in your land against an adversary who opposes 1 you, then you must sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved 2 from your enemies.
Numbers 16:9
16:9 Does it seem too small a thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the community of Israel to bring you near to himself, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the community to minister to them?
1 tn Both the “adversary” and “opposes” come from the same root: צָרַר (tsarar), “to hem in, oppress, harass,” or basically, “be an adversary.”
2 tn The Niphal perfect in this passage has the passive nuance and not a reflexive idea – the Israelites would be spared because God remembered them.
