tn The distributive sense is achieved by repetition: “one leader for the day, one leader for the day.”

tn The clause is a purpose clause, and the imperfect tense a final imperfect.

tn The Hebrew text has “on the altar,” but since there were seven of each animal and seven altars, the implication is that this means on each altar.

tn The relative pronoun is added here in place of the conjunction to clarify that Balaam is speaking to God and not vice versa.
