The Hebrew word for priest, "kohen," denotes one who serves as a mediator between God and the people. In this context, the priest acts as an intermediary in a delicate situation, emphasizing the sacred duty of maintaining holiness and justice within the community. The priest's involvement underscores the seriousness of the matter and the need for divine guidance.<p><b>is to bring</b><br />This phrase indicates an action of leading or presenting. The Hebrew root "qarab" often implies drawing near or approaching with reverence. The act of bringing the wife forward is not merely procedural but is laden with the gravity of approaching the divine presence. It reflects the solemnity and the careful observance of God's laws, ensuring that the process is conducted with respect and integrity.<p><b>the wife forward</b><br />The focus on "the wife" highlights the personal and relational aspect of the situation. In the cultural and historical context of ancient Israel, marriage was a covenantal relationship with profound social and spiritual implications. The wife's position in this narrative is central, and her being brought forward signifies the community's concern for truth and righteousness in marital relationships.<p><b>and have her stand</b><br />The act of standing is significant in biblical terms, often associated with presenting oneself before authority or in a position of accountability. The Hebrew word "amad" conveys the idea of standing firm or being established. This posture before the LORD indicates readiness to receive judgment or vindication, reflecting the seriousness of the situation and the expectation of divine justice.<p><b>before the LORD</b><br />This phrase is pivotal, as it places the entire proceeding in the context of divine oversight. The Hebrew term "YHWH" is the sacred name of God, emphasizing His holiness and sovereignty. Standing before the LORD implies that the matter is not merely a human affair but one that requires divine insight and intervention. It serves as a reminder of God's omnipresence and His role as the ultimate judge and arbiter of truth.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 16.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Before the Lord.</span> Either at the brazen altar or at the door of the tabernacle. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/5-16.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The priest</span><br /><span class="heb">הַכֹּהֵ֑ן</span> <span class="translit">(hak·kō·hên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3548.htm">Strong's 3548: </a> </span><span class="str2">Priest</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is to bring [the wife] forward</span><br /><span class="heb">וְהִקְרִ֥יב</span> <span class="translit">(wə·hiq·rîḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7126.htm">Strong's 7126: </a> </span><span class="str2">To come near, approach</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and have her stand</span><br /><span class="heb">וְהֶֽעֱמִדָ֖הּ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·he·‘ĕ·mi·ḏāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular | third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5975.htm">Strong's 5975: </a> </span><span class="str2">To stand, in various relations</span><br /><br /><span class="word">before</span><br /><span class="heb">לִפְנֵ֥י</span> <span class="translit">(lip̄·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> </span><span class="str2">The face</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD.</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3069.htm">Strong's 3069: </a> </span><span class="str2">YHWH</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/numbers/5-16.htm">Numbers 5:16 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/numbers/5-16.htm">OT Law: Numbers 5:16 The priest shall bring her near (Nu Num.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/numbers/5-15.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Numbers 5:15"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Numbers 5:15" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/numbers/5-17.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Numbers 5:17"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Numbers 5:17" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
