27:16“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all humankind,24 appoint25 a man over the community, 27:17who will go out before them, and who will come in before them,26 and who will lead them out, and who will bring them in, so that27 the community of the Lord may not be like sheep that have no shepherd.”
Footnotes
- 24 Heb “flesh”; cf. , “all mankind”; “all people”; “all living things.”
- 25 This is the same verb פָּקַד (paqad) that is used throughout the book for the aspect of “numbering” the people.
- 26 This is probably technical terminology for a military leader (Josh 14:11; 1 Sam 18:13–16; 1 Kgs 3:7; 2 Kgs 11:9). The image of a shepherd can also be military in nature (1 Kgs 22:17).
- 27 The Hebrew text has the conjunction with the negated imperfect tense, “and it will not be.” This clause should be subordinated to the preceding to form a result clause, and the imperfect then function as a final imperfect.
