Bilangan 13:18

13:18 and see ²  what the land is like, ³  and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, few or many,

Bilangan 13:27

13:27 They told Moses, ⁴  “We went to the land where you sent us. ⁵  It is indeed flowing with milk and honey, ⁶  and this is its fruit.

Bilangan 14:3

14:3 Why has the Lord brought us into this land only to be killed by the sword, that our wives and our children should become plunder? Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to Egypt?”

Bilangan 14:8

14:8 If the Lord delights in us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us – a land that is flowing with milk and honey. ⁷ 

Bilangan 14:16

14:16 ‘Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to them, he killed them in the wilderness.’

Bilangan 14:24

14:24 Only my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit and has followed me fully – I will bring him into the land where he had gone, and his descendants ⁸  will possess it.

Bilangan 14:31

14:31 But I will bring in your little ones, whom you said would become victims of war, ⁹  and they will enjoy ¹⁰  the land that you have despised.

Bilangan 14:38

14:38 But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among ¹¹  the men who went to investigate the land, lived.

Bilangan 15:18

15:18 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you enter the land to which I am bringing you ¹²

16:32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, along with their households, and all Korah’s men, and all their goods. 16:33 They and all that they had went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them. So they perished from among the community.

Bilangan 22:11

22:11 “Look, a nation has come out ¹³  of Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth. Come now and put a curse on them for me; perhaps I will be able to defeat them ¹⁴  and drive them out.” ¹⁵

Leadership Change

27:12 ¹⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, ¹⁷  and see ¹⁸  the land I have given ¹⁹  to the Israelites.

Bilangan 32:5

32:5 So they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, ²⁰  let this land be given to your servants for our inheritance. Do not have us cross ²¹  the Jordan River.” ²² 

Bilangan 32:7

32:7 Why do you frustrate the intent ²³  of the Israelites to cross over into the land which the Lord has given them?

Bilangan 34:12

34:12 Then the border will continue down the Jordan River ²⁴  and its direction will be to the Salt Sea. This will be your land by its borders that surround it.’”

Bilangan 34:17

34:17 “These are the names of the men who are to allocate the land to you as an inheritance: ²⁵  Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

[13:16]  ¹ sn The difference in the names is slight, a change from “he saves” to “the Lord saves.” The Greek text of the OT used Iesoun for Hebrew Yeshua.

[13:18]  ² tn The form is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive; the word therefore carries the volitional mood of the preceding imperatives. It may be either another imperative, or it may be subordinated as a purpose clause.

[13:18]  ³ tn Heb “see the land, what it is.”

[13:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “told him and said.” The referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:27]  ⁵ tn The relative clause modifies “the land.” It is constructed with the relative and the verb: “where you sent us.”

[13:27]  ⁶ sn This is the common expression for the material abundance of the land (see further, F. C. Fensham, “An Ancient Tradition of the Fertility of Palestine,” PEQ 98 [1966]: 166-67).

[14:8]  ⁷ tn The subjective genitives “milk and honey” are symbols of the wealth of the land, second only to bread. Milk was a sign of such abundance (Gen 49:12; Isa 7:21,22). Because of the climate the milk would thicken quickly and become curds, eaten with bread or turned into butter. The honey mentioned here is the wild honey (see Deut 32:13; Judg 14:8-9). It signified sweetness, or the finer things of life (Ezek 3:3).

[14:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “seed.”

[14:31]  ⁹ tn Or “plunder.”

[14:31]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “know.”

[14:38]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew text uses the preposition “from,” “some of” – “from those men.” The relative pronoun is added to make a smoother reading.

[15:18]  ¹² tn The relative clause is literally, “which I am causing you to enter there.” The final adverb is resumptive, and must be joined with the relative pronoun.

[22:11]  ¹³ tn In this passage the text differs slightly; here it is “the nation that comes out,” using the article on the noun, and the active participle in the attributive adjective usage.

[22:11]  ¹⁴ tn Here the infinitive construct is used to express the object or complement of the verb “to be able” (it answers the question of what he will be able to do).

[22:11]  ¹⁵ tn The verb is the Piel perfect with vav (ו) consecutive. It either carries the force of an imperfect tense, or it may be subordinated to the preceding verbs.

[27:12]  ¹⁶ sn See further J. Lindblom, “Lot Casting in the Old Testament,” VT 12 (1962): 164-78; E. Lipinski, “Urim and Thummim,” VT 20 (1970): 495-96; and S. E. Loewenstamm, “The Death of Moses,” Tarbiz 27 (1957/58): 142-57.

[27:12]  ¹⁷ tc The Greek version adds “which is Mount Nebo.” This is a typical scribal change to harmonize two passages.

[27:12]  sn The area is in the mountains of Moab; Deut 34:1 more precisely identifies it as Mount Nebo.

[27:12]  ¹⁸ tn The imperative could be subordinated to the first to provide a purpose clause, although a second instruction fits well enough.

[27:12]  ¹⁹ tn This perfect tense would best be classified as a perfect of resolve: “which I have decided to give.” God had not yet given the land to them, but it was certain he would.

[32:5]  ²⁰ tn Heb “eyes.”

[32:5]  ²¹ tn The verb is the Hiphil jussive from עָבַר (’avar, “to cross over”). The idea of “cause to cross” or “make us cross” might be too harsh, but “take across” with the rest of the nation is what they are trying to avoid.

[32:5]  ²² tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:7]  ²³ tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 9.

[34:12]  ²⁴ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[34:17]  ²⁵ tn The verb can be translated simply as “divide,” but it has more the idea of allocate as an inheritance, the related noun being “inheritance.”
