4:19 but in order that they will live ¹  and not die when they approach the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons will go in and appoint ²  each man ³  to his service and his responsibility.

Bilangan 14:18

14:18 ‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in loyal love, ⁴  forgiving iniquity and transgression, ⁵  but by no means clearing ⁶  the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children until the third and fourth generations.’ ⁷ 

Bilangan 15:24

15:24 then if anything is done unintentionally ⁸  without the knowledge of ⁹  the community, the whole community must prepare one young bull for a burnt offering – for a pleasing aroma to the Lord – along with its grain offering and its customary drink offering, and one male goat for a purification offering.

[4:19]  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.

[4:19]  ² tn The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive continues the instruction for Aaron.

[4:19]  ³ tn The distributive sense is obtained by the repetition, “a man” and “a man.”

[14:18]  ⁵ tn Or “rebellion.”

[14:18]  ⁶ tn The infinitive absolute emphasizes the verbal activity of the imperfect tense, which here serves as a habitual imperfect. Negated it states what God does not do; and the infinitive makes that certain.

[14:18]  ⁷ sn The Decalogue adds “to those who hate me.” The point of the line is that the effects of sin, if not the sinful traits themselves, are passed on to the next generation.

[15:24]  ⁸ tn The idea of לִשְׁגָגָה (lishgagah) seems to be that of “inadvertence” or “without intent.” The text gives no indication of how this offense might be committed, or what it might include. It probably describes any transgressions done in ignorance of the Law that involved a violation of tabernacle procedure or priestly protocol or social misdemeanor. Even though it was done unintentionally, it was still a violation and called for ritual purification.

[15:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “[away] from the eyes of the community.”
