Footnotes

  1. 31 This could be translated “position him,” or “have him stand,” since it is the causative stem of the verb “to stand.”
  2. 32 The verb is the Piel perfect of צִוָּה (tsivvah, literally “to command”). The verb has a wide range of meanings, and so here in this context the idea of instructing gives way to a more general sense of commissioning for duty. The verb in sequence is equal to the imperfect of instruction.
  3. 33 Heb “in their eyes.”
