| NET © Notes |
1 tn The word order is different in the Hebrew text: Do this…and they will live. Consequently, the verb “and they will live” is a perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive to express the future consequence of “doing this” for them. 2 tn The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive continues the instruction for Aaron. 3 tn The distributive sense is obtained by the repetition, “a man” and “a man.” |
