Numbers 4:27

Context

4:27 “All the service of the Gershonites, whether 1  carrying loads 2  or for any of their work, will be at the direction of 3  Aaron and his sons. You will assign them all their tasks 4  as their responsibility.

1 tn The term “whether” is supplied to introduce the enumerated parts of the explanatory phrase.

2 tn Here again is the use of the noun “burden” in the sense of the loads they were to carry (see the use of carts in Num 7:7).

3 tn The expression is literally “upon/at the mouth of” (עַל־פִּי, ’al-pi); it means that the work of these men would be under the direct orders of Aaron and his sons.

4 tn Or “burden.”
