Exodus 4:27

The Lord said ¹  to Aaron, “Go to the wilderness to meet Moses. So he went and met him at the mountain of God ²  and greeted him with a kiss. ³ 

Ge 29:11; Ex 3:1; Ex 4:14-16; Ex 19:3; Ex 20:18; Ex 24:15-17; 1Ki 19:8; Ec 4:9; Ac 10:5,6,20

¹ tn Heb “And Yahweh said.”

² tn S. R. Driver considers that this verse is a continuation of vv. 17 and 18 and that Aaron met Moses before Moses started back to Egypt (Exodus, 33). The first verb, then, might have the nuance of a past perfect: Yahweh had said.

³ tn Heb “and kissed him.”
