# General Information:
Moses continues speaking to the people of Israel.
# Be careful ... you carefully observe
Moses speaks to the Israelites here as if they were one man, so the word "you" and the command "be careful" are singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
# Be careful regarding any plague of leprosy
"Pay attention if you suffer from leprosy" or "Pay attention if you have leprosy"
# every instruction given to you which the priests, the Levites, teach you
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "all of the instructions that I have given you and that the priests, who are Levites, teach you to do" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# teach you ... you will act
Moses here speaks to the Israelites as a group, so these instances of the word "you" are plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
# as I commanded them, so you will act
"you must make sure that you do exactly what I have commanded them"
# commanded them
The word "them" refers to the priests, who are Levites.
