1 sn This action of Moses and Aaron is typical of them in the wilderness with the Israelites. The act shows self-abasement and deference before the sovereign Lord. They are not bowing before the people here, but in front of the people they bow before God. According to Num 17:6-15 this prostration is for the purpose of intercessory prayer. Here it prevents immediate wrath from God.

2 tn Heb “before all the assembly of the congregation.”

3 tn Heb “stoned him with stones, and he died.”

4 tn Heb “eyes.”
