Numbers 15:14
15:14 If a resident foreigner is living 1 with you – or whoever is among you 2 in future generations 3 – and prepares an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he must do it the same way you are to do it. 4
Numbers 33:55
33:55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then those whom you allow to remain will be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your side, and will cause you trouble in the land where you will be living.
1 tn The word גּוּר (gur) was traditionally translated “to sojourn,” i.e., to live temporarily in a land. Here the two words are from the root: “if a sojourner sojourns.”
2 tn Heb “in your midst.”
3 tn The Hebrew text just has “to your generations,” but it means in the future.
4 tn The imperfect tenses must reflect the responsibility to comply with the law, and so the classifications of instruction or obligation may be applied.
