[1:16] 1 tc The form has a Kethib-Qere problem, but the sentence calls for the Qere, the passive participle in the construct – “the called of….” These men were God’s choice, and not Moses’, or their own choice. He announced who they would be, and then named them. So they were truly “called” (קָרָא, qara’). The other reading is probably due to a copyist’s error.
[1:16] 2 tn The word is נָשִׂיא (nasi’, “exalted one, prince, leader”). Cf. KJV, ASV, NAB “princes.” These were men apparently revered or respected in their tribes, and so the clear choice to assist Moses with the leadership. See further, E. A. Speiser, “Background and Function of the Biblical na„sÃþá,” CBQ 25 (1963): 111-17.
[1:16] 3 tn Heb “exalted ones of the tribes of their fathers.” The earlier group of elders was chosen by Moses at the advice of his father-in-law. This group represents the few leaders of the tribes that were chosen by God, a more literate group apparently, who were the forerunners of the שֹׁטְּרִים (shottÿrim).
[1:16] 4 tc The Hebrew text has אַלְפֵי (’alfey, “thousands of”). There is some question over this reading in the MT, however. The community groups that have these leaders were larger tribes, but there is little certainty about the size of the divisions.
[21:15] 5 tc There are many variations in this text, but the MT reading of something like “the descent of the torrents/valleys” is preferable, since it is describing the topography.
[21:15] 6 sn The place is unknown; it is apparently an important city in the region.
[25:15] 8 sn The passage makes it clear that this individual was a leader, one who was supposed to be preventing this thing from happening. The judgment was swift and severe, because the crime was so great, and the danger of it spreading was certain. Paul refers to this horrible incident when he reminds Christians not to do similar things (1 Cor 10:6-8).
[26:7] 9 sn The Reubenites had decreased from 46,500 to 43,730.
[26:22] 10 sn The Judahites increased from 74,600 to 76,500.
[26:25] 11 sn The Issacharites increased from 54,400 to 64,300.
[26:34] 12 sn The Manassehites increased from 32,200 to 52,700.
[26:41] 13 sn The Benjaminites increased from 35,400 to 45,600. The Greek version has here 35,500.
[26:47] 14 sn The Asherites increased from 41,500 to 53,400.
[26:50] 15 sn The Naphtalites decreased from 53,400 to 45,400.
[26:51] 16 sn This number shows only a slightly smaller total in the second census; the first was 603,550.
