Context — Laws on Sacred Offeringsgenerated

9Every sacred contribution the Israelites bring to the priest shall belong to him.
10Each man’s sacred gifts are his own, but whatever he gives to the priest will belong to the priest.”
11Then the LORD said to Moses,
12“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him

Numbers 5:10 outlines the distinction between personal sacred gifts and those offered to the priest, emphasizing the ownership of such gifts while clarifying the priest's rights to offerings. This instruction is part of a broader set of laws that govern the Israelites' worship and contributions, ensuring that the roles of individuals and priests are clearly defined.


Cross References


The Key Word קֳדָשָׁיו, ko.da.Shavgenerated

The word קֹ֫דֶשׁ (qodesh) signifies holiness or sacredness, often used to describe things set apart for God. In this context, it refers to the sacred gifts that belong to each man, indicating their personal and spiritual significance.

The plural form קֳדָשָׁיו indicates multiple sacred gifts, emphasizing that each individual's contributions are distinct and personal. The construct form shows possession, linking the gifts directly to the individual, which highlights the importance of personal offerings in worship.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb יִהְי֑וּ, they will belong, governs the main clause, with a noun phrase subject and a prepositional phrase indicating the recipient. The structure highlights the relationship between individual offerings and their intended destination.

The sentence is constructed with two main clauses, showing the contrast between personal sacred gifts and those given to the priest, which clarifies the distinction in ownership and purpose.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the word קֳדָשָׁיו is rendered as ἡγιασμένα, indicating a focus on the sanctity of the gifts. This translation emphasizes the sacred nature of the offerings rather than their personal ownership.

The choice of ἡγιασμένα shows a slight narrowing of meaning, focusing more on the holiness of the gifts than on the individual aspect emphasized in the Hebrew.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Samaritan Pentateuch, which agrees word for word. The Septuagint matches 10 of the 11 words, indicating a close relationship between the translations, though its word order may differ.

Masoretic TextLeningrad Codex, c. AD 1008 — the text this page is built on

10 of the 11 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Samaritan Pentateuchthe Torah as the Samaritan community kept it

ואישׁ את קדשׁיו לו יהיה ואישׁ אשׁר יתן לכהן לו יהיה

Agrees with the Masoretic Text here, word for word.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

A priest is one who is duly authorized to minister in sacred things, particularly to offer sacrifices at the altar, and who acts as mediator between men and God. In the New Testament the term is applied to priests of the Gentiles…

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Priest

The Heb. kohen, Gr. hierus, Lat. sacerdos, always denote one who offers sacrifices.

At first every man was his own priest, and presented his own sacrifices before God. Afterwards that office devolved on the head of the family, as in the cases of Noah (Gen. 8:20), Abraham (12:7; 13:4), Isaac (26:25), Jacob (31:54), and Job (Job 1:5).

The name first occurs as applied to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18). Under the Levitical arrangements the office of the priesthood was limited to the tribe of Levi, and to only one family of that tribe, the family of Aaron. Certain laws respecting the qualifications of priests are given in Lev. 21:16-23. There are ordinances also regarding the…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

The English word is derived from the Greek presbyter , signifying an "elder" (Heb. cohen). Origin. --The idea of a priesthood connects itself in all its forms, pure or corrupted, with the consciousness, more or less distinct of sin. Men feel that they have broken a law. The power above them is holier than they are, and they dare not approach it. They crave for the intervention of some one of whom they can think as likely to be more acceptable than themselves. He must offer up their prayers, thanksgivings, sacrifices. He becomes their representative in "things pertaining unto God." He may become also (though this does not always follow) the representative of God to man. The functions of the priest and prophet may exist in the same person. No trace of a hereditary or caste priesthood meets us in the worship of the patriarchal age. Once and once only does the word cohen meet us as…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

One who officiated in the public worship of God, especially in making expiation for sin, being "ordained for men in things pertaining to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins." In the Old Testament, the priesthood was not annexed to a certain family till after the promulgation of the law by Moses. Before that time, the firstborn of each family, the fathers, the princes, the kings, were priests in their own cities and in their own houses. Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, and Job, Abimelech and Laban, Isaac and Jacob offered personally their own sacrifices. In the solemnity of the covenant made by the Lord with his people, at the foot of Mount Sinai, Moses performed the office of mediator, and young men were chosen from among Israel to perform the office of priests, Ex 24:5. But after the Lord had chosen the tribe of Levi to…
