Discovery BoxNumbers 4:20 
Context4:20 But the Kohathites 1 are not to go in to watch while the holy things are being covered, or they will die.”
Numbers 16:42
Context16:42 When the community assembled 2 against Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting – and 3 the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
1 tn In the Hebrew text the verse has as the subject “they,” but to avoid confusion the antecedent has been clarified in the translation.
2 tn The temporal clause is constructed with the temporal indicator (“and it was”) followed by the Niphal infinitive construct and preposition.
3 tn The verse uses וְהִנֵּה (vÿhinneh, “and behold”). This is the deictic particle – it is used to point things out, suddenly calling attention to them, as if the reader were there. The people turned to look toward the tent – and there is the cloud!
