Numbers 6:23

“Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is the way ¹  you are to bless ²  the Israelites. Say ³  to them:

Ge 14:19,20; Ge 24:60; Ge 27:27-29; Ge 28:3,4; Ge 47:7,10; Ge 48:20; Le 9:22,23; De 10:8; De 21:5; De 33:1; Jos 8:33; 1Ch 23:13; Lu 24:50,51; Ro 1:7; 1Co 1:3; 2Co 13:14; Heb 7:1,7; Heb 11:20,21; 1Pe 1:2; 2Pe 1:2,3; 2Jo 1:3

¹ tn Or “thus.”

² tn The Piel imperfect has the nuance of instruction. The particle “thus” explains that the following oracle is the form to use.

³ tn Here is the only use of the verb אָמַר (’amar) as an infinitive absolute; it functions as a verb form, an imperative or an imperfect of instruction. Several commentators have attempted to emend the text to get around the difficulty, but such emendations are unnecessary.
