1.0 KiB
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.
