Imamat 9:6

9:6 Then Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded you to do ¹  so that the glory of the Lord may appear ²  to you.”

Bilangan 14:10

14:10 However, the whole community threatened to stone them. ³  But ⁴  the glory ⁵  of the Lord appeared to all the Israelites at the tent ⁶  of meeting.

Bilangan 16:19

16:19 When ⁷  Korah assembled the whole community against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting, then the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole community.

Bilangan 16:42

16:42 When the community assembled ⁸  against Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting – and ⁹  the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

[9:6]  ¹ tn Heb “which the Lord commanded you shall/should do.”

[9:6]  ² tn Heb “and the glory of the Lord will appear,” but the construction with the simple vav (ו) plus the imperfect/jussive (וְיֵרָא, vÿyera’; literally, “and he will appear”) suggests purpose in this context, not just succession of events (i.e., “so that he might appear”).

[14:10]  ³ tn Heb “said to stone them with stones.” The verb and the object are not from the same root, but the combination nonetheless forms an emphasis equal to the cognate accusative.

[14:10]  ⁴ tn The vav (ו) on the noun “glory” indicates a strong contrast, one that interrupts their threatened attack.

[14:10]  ⁵ sn The glory of the Lord refers to the reality of the Lord’s presence in a manifestation of his power and splendor. It showed to all that God was a living God. The appearance of the glory indicated blessing for the obedient, but disaster for the disobedient.

[14:10]  ⁶ tc The Greek, Syriac, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “in the cloud over the tent.”

[16:19]  ⁷ tn This clause is clearly foundational for the clause that follows, the appearance of the Lord; therefore it should be subordinated to the next as a temporal clause (one preterite followed by another preterite may be so subordinated).

[16:42]  ⁸ tn The temporal clause is constructed with the temporal indicator (“and it was”) followed by the Niphal infinitive construct and preposition.

[16:42]  ⁹ tn The verse uses וְהִנֵּה (vÿhinneh, “and behold”). This is the deictic particle – it is used to point things out, suddenly calling attention to them, as if the reader were there. The people turned to look toward the tent – and there is the cloud!
