(5731) Rashi (5731) (Num. 37:11): "awaited the matter" 

awaited the matter: Heb. שָׁמַר. He was waiting and looking forward in expectation of when it (the fulfillment) would come. Similarly,“awaiting (שׁוֹמֵר) the realization of God’s promise” (Isa. 26:2), and“You do not wait (תִשְׁמוֹר) for my sin” (Job 14:16). You do not wait. From Gen. Rabbah 84:12
