Bilangan 16:38

16:38 As for the censers of these men who sinned at the cost of their lives, ¹  they must be made ²  into hammered sheets for covering the altar, because they presented them before the Lord and sanctified them. They will become a sign to the Israelites.”

Bilangan 22:12

22:12 But God said to Balaam, “You must not go with them; you must not curse the people, ³  for they are blessed.” ⁴ 

Bilangan 32:24

32:24 So build cities for your descendants and pens for your sheep, but do what you have said ⁵  you would do.”

Bilangan 34:14

34:14 because the tribe of the Reubenites by their families, ⁶  the tribe of the Gadites by their families, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.

[16:38]  ¹ tn The expression is “in/by/against their life.” That they sinned against their life means that they brought ruin to themselves.

[16:38]  ² tn The form is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive. But there is no expressed subject for “and they shall make them,” and so it may be treated as a passive (“they shall [must] be made”).

[22:12]  ³ tn The two verbs are negated imperfects; they have the nuance of prohibition: You must not go and you must not curse.

[22:12]  ⁴ tn The word בָּרוּךְ (barukh) is the Qal passive participle, serving here as the predicate adjective after the supplied verb “to be.” The verb means “enrich,” in any way, materially, spiritually, physically. But the indication here is that the blessing includes the promised blessing of the patriarchs, a blessing that gave Israel the land. See further, C. Westermann, Blessing in the Bible and the Life of the Church (OBT).

[32:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “that which goes out/has gone out of your mouth.”

[34:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “the house of their fathers.” So also a little later in this verse.
