Bilangan 18:31

18:31 And you may ³  eat it in any place, you and your household, because it is your wages for your service in the tent of meeting.

[12:7]  ¹ sn The title “my servant” or “servant of the Lord” is reserved in the Bible for distinguished personages, people who are truly spiritual leaders, like Moses, David, Hezekiah, and also the Messiah. Here it underscores Moses’ obedience.

[12:7]  ² tn The word “faithful” is נֶאֱמָן (ne’eman), the Niphal participle of the verb אָמַן (’aman). This basic word has the sense of “support, be firm.” In the Niphal it describes something that is firm, reliable, dependable – what can be counted on. It could actually be translated “trustworthy.”

[18:31]  ³ tn The verb is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive; it functions as the equivalent of the imperfect of permission.
