Discovery BoxNumbers 16:40 
Context16:40 It was a memorial for the Israelites, that no outsider who is not a descendant of 1 Aaron should approach to burn incense before the Lord, that he might not become like Korah and his company – just as the Lord had spoken by the authority 2 of Moses.
Numbers 27:17
Context27:17 who will go out before them, and who will come in before them, 3 and who will lead them out, and who will bring them in, so that 4 the community of the Lord may not be like sheep that have no shepherd.”
1 tn Heb “from the seed of.”
2 tn Heb “hand.”
3 sn This is probably technical terminology for a military leader (Josh 14:11; 1 Sam 18:13-16; 1 Kgs 3:7; 2 Kgs 11:9). The image of a shepherd can also be military in nature (1 Kgs 22:17).
4 tn The Hebrew text has the conjunction with the negated imperfect tense, “and it will not be.” This clause should be subordinated to the preceding to form a result clause, and the imperfect then function as a final imperfect.
