### Note

Past: brought (not «bringed»). «bring» is toward the speaker, «take» is away: «Bring it here», «Take it there». An action that usually adds to the place or group it comes to. With «each» it gives a rate: total = number of people × amount each.

## In Jewish tradition

In the Torah to bring often means to bring an offering to the sanctuary, or for God to bring His people out of Egypt and into the land.

**Interpretation.** Tradition notes that to "bring near" an offering is the root of the Hebrew word korban, meaning an offering that draws a person close to God.
