Numbers 14:14
14:14 then they will tell it to the inhabitants 1 of this land. They have heard that you, Lord, are among this people, that you, Lord, are seen face to face, 2 that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them by day in a pillar of cloud and in a pillar of fire by night.
Numbers 18:26
18:26 “You are to speak to the Levites, and you must tell them, ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you are to offer up 3 from it as a raised offering to the Lord a tenth of the tithe.
1 tn The singular participle is to be taken here as a collective, representing all the inhabitants of the land.
2 tn “Face to face” is literally “eye to eye.” It only occurs elsewhere in Isa 52:8. This expresses the closest communication possible.
3 tn The verb in this clause is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive; it has the same force as an imperfect of instruction: “when…then you are to offer up.”
