NET © Notes |
1 tc The LXX includes the following words here: “and all things pertaining to the altar and within the veil.” Cf. Num 18:7. 2 tn The word is זָר (zar), usually rendered “stranger, foreigner, pagan.” But in this context it simply refers to anyone who is not a Levite or a priest, an unauthorized person or intruder in the tabernacle. That person would be put to death. |
