וְאֶל־הַזְּקֵנִ֤ים אָמַר֙ שְׁבוּ־לָ֣נוּ בָזֶ֔ה עַ֥ד אֲשֶׁר־נָשׁ֖וּב אֲלֵיכֶ֑ם וְהִנֵּ֨ה אַהֲרֹ֤ן וְחוּר֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם מִי־בַ֥עַל דְּבָרִ֖ים יִגַּ֥שׁ אֲלֵהֶֽם׃
At sa matatanda ay sinabi niya: “Manatili kayo rito para sa amin hanggang sa makabalik kami sa inyo; at narito, si Aaron at si Hur ay kasama ninyo; sinumang may usapin ay lumapit sa kanila.”
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
