Footnotes

  1. 24 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.
  2. 25 The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive continues the instruction for Aaron.
  3. 26 The distributive sense is obtained by the repetition, “a man” and “a man.”
