Numbers 17:10

The Lord said to Moses, “Bring Aaron’s staff back before the testimony to be preserved for a sign to the rebels, so that you may bring their murmurings to an end ¹  before me, that they will not die.” ² 

Ex 16:32; Nu 16:38,40; Nu 17:5; De 31:19-26; 1Sa 2:12; 1Sa 30:22; Ps 57:4; Isa 1:2; Ho 10:9; Eph 2:2,3; Eph 5:6; Heb 9:4

¹ tn The verb means “to finish; to complete” and here “to bring to an end.” It is the imperfect following the imperative, and so introduces a purpose clause (as a final imperfect).

² tn This is another final imperfect in a purpose clause.
