Numbers 15:14

14 If a resident foreigner is living ^{▼▼ The word גּוּר (gur) was traditionally translated “to sojourn,” i.e., to live temporarily in a land. Here the two words are from the root: “if a sojourner sojourns.”} with you – or whoever is among you ^{▼▼ Heb “in your midst.”} in future generations ^{▼▼ The Hebrew text just has “to your generations,” but it means in the future.} – and prepares an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he must do it the same way you are to do it. ^{▼▼ The imperfect tenses must reflect the responsibility to comply with the law, and so the classifications of instruction or obligation may be applied.}
