Translation commentary on Numbers 20:6

Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting: New Revised Standard Version renders from the presence of the assembly as “from the assembly” since a significant separation is in view here. For the Hebrew word rendered assembly (qahal), see verse 4; for the door of the tent of meeting, see 3.25.

And fell on their faces: See the comments on 14.5 and 16.4.

And the glory of the LORD appeared to them: See 14.10.
