Footnotes

  1. 34 Or “a perpetual regulation”; cf. “a permanent ordinance”; “as their perpetual due.”
  2. 35 Heb “for your generations”; cf. “for the generations to come.”

The question is whether this refers to the contagious nature of holy objects (cf. , , , , ) or whether it simply sets forth a demand that anyone who touches the holy gifts of the Lord must be a holy person (cf. ). See R. E. Averbeck, 2:.
