Commentary

Notes on Numbers 29:40 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “to command” (tsâvâh) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. How does Acts 20:27, which shares this passage’s theme, read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “Moses” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  5. «וַיֹּ֥אמֶר» is a Qal Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  6. Compare how Keil & Delitzsch and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
