7:5“Receive these gifts7 from them, that they may be8 used in doing the work9 of the tent of meeting; and you must give them to the Levites, to every man10 as his service requires.”11
Footnotes
- 7 The object is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied.
- 8 The verb is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive; following the imperative, this could be given an independent volitive translation (“they shall be”), but more fittingly a subordinated translation expressing the purpose of receiving the gifts.
- 9 The sentence uses the infinitive construct expressing purpose, followed by its cognate accusative: “[that they may be] for doing the work of” (literally, “serving the service of”).
- 10 The noun אִישׁ (’ish) is in apposition to the word “Levites,” and is to be taken in a distributive sense: “to the Levites, [to each] man according to his service.”
- 11 The expression כְּפִי (kéfi) is “according to the mouth of.” Here, it would say “according to the mouth of his service,” which would mean “what his service calls for.”
