Numbers 4:19

Context
4:19 but in order that they will live 1  and not die when they approach the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons will go in and appoint 2  each man 3  to his service and his responsibility.

Numbers 18:4

Context
18:4 They must join 4  with you, and they will be responsible for the care of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent, but no unauthorized person 5  may approach you.

1 tn The word order is different in the Hebrew text: Do this…and they will live. Consequently, the verb “and they will live” is a perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive to express the future consequence of “doing this” for them.

2 tn The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive continues the instruction for Aaron.

3 tn The distributive sense is obtained by the repetition, “a man” and “a man.”

4 tn Now the sentence uses the Niphal perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive from the same root לָוָה (lavah).

5 tn The word is “stranger, alien,” but it can also mean Israelites here.
