Discovery BoxNumbers 8:16

Context19:16 And whoever touches the body of someone killed with a sword in the open fields, 3 or the body of someone who died of natural causes, 4 or a human bone, or a grave, will be unclean seven days. 5
Numbers 24:16
Context24:16 the oracle of the one who hears the words of God,
and who knows the knowledge of the Most High,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
although falling flat on the ground with eyes open:
1 tn As before, the emphasis is obtained by repeating the passive participle: “given, given to me.”
2 tn Or “as substitutes” for all the firstborn of the Israelites.
3 tn The expression for “in the open field” is literally “upon the face of the field” (עַל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה, ’al pÿne hassadeh). This ruling is in contrast now to what was contacted in the tent.
4 tn Heb “a dead body”; but in contrast to the person killed with a sword, this must refer to someone who died of natural causes.
5 sn See Matt 23:27 and Acts 23:3 for application of this by the time of Jesus.
