It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues. 5
1 tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”
2 tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.
3 tn Heb “be over”
4 tn Heb “on their hand.”
5 tn Heb “brothers.”
