Bilangan 14:29

14:29 Your dead bodies ¹  will fall in this wilderness – all those of you who were numbered, according to your full number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me.

Bilangan 22:32

22:32 The angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you because what you are doing ²  is perverse before me. ³ 

[14:29]  ¹ tn Or “your corpses” (also in vv. 32, 33).

[22:32]  ² tn Heb “your way.”

[22:32]  ³ tn The verb יָרַט (yarat) occurs only here and in Job 16:11. Balaam is embarking on a foolish mission with base motives. The old rendering “perverse” is still acceptable.
