| NET © Notes |
1 tn The term “whether” is supplied to introduce the enumerated parts of the explanatory phrase. 2 tn Here again is the use of the noun “burden” in the sense of the loads they were to carry (see the use of carts in Num 7:7). 3 tn The expression is literally “upon/at the mouth of” (עַל־פִּי, ’al-pi); it means that the work of these men would be under the direct orders of Aaron and his sons. 4 tn Or “burden.” |
