¹ tn The term “whether” is supplied to introduce the enumerated parts of the explanatory phrase.

² tn Here again is the use of the noun “burden” in the sense of the loads they were to carry (see the use of carts in Num 7:7).

³ tn The expression is literally “upon/at the mouth of” (עַל־פִּי, ’al-pi); it means that the work of these men would be under the direct orders of Aaron and his sons.

⁴ tn Or “burden.”

⁵ tn Or “the Ascent of Scorpions” (עַקְרַבִּים [’aqrabbim] means “scorpions” in Hebrew).

⁶ tn Heb “its going forth,” or the way it runs.

⁷ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
