Numbers 9:19

New English Translation

¹⁹When the cloud remained over the tabernacle many days, then the Israelites obeyed the instructions^[a] of the Lord and did not journey.

Numbers 9:19 tn This is the same Hebrew expression that was used earlier for the Levites “keeping their charge” or more clearly, “fulfilling their obligations” to take care of the needs of the people and the sanctuary. It is a general expression using שָׁמַר (shamar) followed by its cognate noun מִשְׁמֶרֶת (mishmeret).
