Numbers 27:3

27:3 “Our father died in the wilderness, although ¹  he was not part of ²  the company of those that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but he died for his own sin, ³  and he had no sons.

¹ tn This clause begins with a vav (ו) on a pronoun, marking it out as a disjunctive vav. In this context it fits best to take it as a circumstantial clause introducing concession.

² tn Heb “in the midst of.”

³ tn The word order is emphatic: “but in/on account of his own sins he died.”
