34:18 You must take one leader from every ³⁰  tribe to assist in allocating the land as an inheritance. ³¹ 

[1:4]  ¹ tn Heb “and with you.”

[1:4]  ² tn The construction uses the noun in a distributive sense: “a man, a man for a tribe,” meaning a man for each tribe.

[1:4]  ³ tn The clause expresses a distributive function, “a man” means “each man.”

[1:4]  ⁴ sn See J. R. Bartlett, “The Use of the Word ראשׁ as a Title in the Old Testament,” VT 19 (1969): 1-10.

[1:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “the house of his fathers.”

[1:44]  ⁶ tn The construction uses both the passive participle הַפְּקֻדִים (happÿqudim) and the verb פָּקַד (paqad), giving a literal translation of “these were the numbered ones, whom Moses and Aaron numbered.”

[1:44]  ⁷ tn Heb “they were one man for the house of his fathers.”

[3:27]  ⁸ sn Both Moses and Aaron came from this line (6:16-20). During the Hebrew monarchy this branch of the line of Levi was exemplary in music (1 Chr 6:33-48). They were also helpful to Hezekiah in his reforms (1 Chr 29:12-14).

[6:4]  ⁹ tn This word also is rare, occurring only here.

[6:4]  ¹⁰ sn Here is another hapax legomenon, a word only found here. The word seems linked to the verb “to be clear,” and so may mean the thin skin of the grape. The reason for the strictness with these two words in this verse is uncertain. We know the actual meanings of the words, and the combination must form a merism here, meaning no part of the grape could be eaten. Abstaining from these common elements of food was to be a mark of commitment to the Lord. Hos 3:1 even denounces the raisin cakes as part of a pagan world, and eating them would be a violation of the oath.

[6:23]  ¹¹ tn Or “thus.”

[6:23]  ¹² tn The Piel imperfect has the nuance of instruction. The particle “thus” explains that the following oracle is the form to use.

[6:23]  ¹³ tn Here is the only use of the verb אָמַר (’amar) as an infinitive absolute; it functions as a verb form, an imperative or an imperfect of instruction. Several commentators have attempted to emend the text to get around the difficulty, but such emendations are unnecessary.

[15:9]  ¹⁴ tn The text changes from direct address here to the third person form of the verb. If the MT is correct, then to make a smooth translation it would need to be made a passive (in view of the fact that no subject is expressed).

[16:12]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Moses sent to summon.” The verb קָרָא (qara’) followed by the lamed (ל) preposition does not mean “call to” but “summon.” This is a command performance; for them to appear would be to submit to Moses’ authority. This they will not do.

[16:12]  ¹⁶ tn The imperfect tense נַעֲלֶה (na’aleh) expresses their unwillingness to report: “we are not willing,” or “we will not.” The verb means “to go up.” It is used in the sense of appearing before an authority or a superior (see, e.g., Gen 46:31; Deut 25:7; Judg 4:5).

[26:7]  ¹⁷ sn The Reubenites had decreased from 46,500 to 43,730.

[26:22]  ¹⁸ sn The Judahites increased from 74,600 to 76,500.

[26:25]  ¹⁹ sn The Issacharites increased from 54,400 to 64,300.

[26:34]  ²⁰ sn The Manassehites increased from 32,200 to 52,700.

[26:40]  ²¹ tc The LXX has Adar. Cf. 1 Chr 8:3.

[26:40]  ²² tc “From Ard” is not in the Hebrew text.

[26:41]  ²³ sn The Benjaminites increased from 35,400 to 45,600. The Greek version has here 35,500.

[26:47]  ²⁴ sn The Asherites increased from 41,500 to 53,400.

[26:50]  ²⁵ sn The Naphtalites decreased from 53,400 to 45,400.

[31:2]  ²⁶ tn The imperative is followed by its cognate accusative to stress this vengeance. The Midianites had attempted to destroy Israel with their corrupt pagan practices, and now will be judged. The accounts indicate that the effort by Midian was calculated and evil.

[31:2]  ²⁷ sn The war was commanded by the Lord and was to be divine vengeance on the Midianites. So it was holy war. No Israelites then could take spoils in this – it was not a time for plunder and aggrandizement. It was part of the judgment of God upon those who would destroy or pervert his plan and his people.

[31:2]  ²⁸ sn This would be the last major enterprise that Moses would have to undertake. He would soon die and “be gathered to his people” as Aaron was.

[32:38]  ²⁹ tn Heb “called names.”

[34:18]  ³⁰ tn This sense is created by repetition: “one leader, one leader from the tribe.”

[34:18]  ³¹ tn The sentence simply uses לִנְחֹל (linkhol, “to divide, apportion”). It has been taken already to mean “allocate as an inheritance.” Here “assist” may be added since Joshua and Eleazar had the primary work.
