Bilangan 24:21

24:21 Then he looked on the Kenites and uttered this oracle:

“Your dwelling place seems strong,

and your nest ¹  is set on a rocky cliff.

Bilangan 24:5

24:5 ‘How ²  beautiful are your tents, O Jacob,

and your dwelling places, O Israel!

[24:21]  ¹ sn A pun is made on the name Kenite by using the word “your nest” (קִנֶּךָ, qinnekha); the location may be the rocky cliffs overlooking Petra.

[24:5]  ² tn Here מָה (mah) has an exclamatory sense: “How!” (see Gen 28:17).
