Numbers 12:11

The Intercession of Moses

12:11 So Aaron said to Moses, “O my lord, please do not hold this sin against us, in which we have acted foolishly and have sinned!

Numbers 32:23

32:23 “But if you do not do this, then look, you will have sinned against the Lord. And know that your sin will find you out.


tn The expression בִּי אֲדֹנִי (biadoni, “O my lord”) shows a good deal of respect for Moses by Aaron. The expression is often used in addressing God.

tn The nuance of the perfect tense here has to be the future perfect.
