7:87 All the animals for the burnt offering were 12 young bulls, 12 rams, 12 male lambs in their first year, with their grain offering, and 12 male goats for a purification offering.

Bilangan 9:5

9:5 And they observed the Passover ³  on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight in the wilderness of Sinai; in accordance with all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did.

Bilangan 11:22

11:22 Would they have enough if the flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? If all the fish of the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”

Bilangan 11:24

11:24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord. He then gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tabernacle.

Bilangan 14:10-11

The Punishment from God

14:11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise ⁸  me, and how long will they not believe ⁹  in me, in spite of the signs that I have done among them?

Bilangan 14:29

14:29 Your dead bodies ¹⁰  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 15:23

15:23 all that the Lord has commanded you by the authority ¹¹  of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses and continuing through your future generations –

Bilangan 16:27-28

16:27 So they got away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram on every side, and Dathan and Abiram came out and stationed themselves ¹²  in the entrances of their tents with their wives, their children, and their toddlers. 16:28 Then Moses said, “This is how ¹³  you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will. ¹⁴ 

Bilangan 17:2

17:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and receive from them a staff from each tribe, ¹⁵  one from every tribal leader, ¹⁶  twelve staffs; you must write each man’s name on his staff.

Bilangan 17:5

17:5 And the staff of the man whom I choose will blossom; so I will rid myself of the complaints of the Israelites, which they murmur against you.”

Bilangan 18:6

18:6 I myself have chosen ¹⁷  your brothers the Levites from among the Israelites. They are given to you as a gift from the Lord, to perform the duties ¹⁸  of the tent of meeting.

Bilangan 20:11

Bilangan 27:7

Bilangan 31:28

31:28 “You must exact ²⁹  a tribute for the Lord from the fighting men who went out to battle: one life out of five hundred, from the people, the cattle, and from the donkeys and the sheep.

31:54 So Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and commanders ³⁰  of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting as a memorial ³¹  for the Israelites before the Lord.

Bilangan 36:8

36:8 And every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any of the tribes of the Israelites must become the wife of a man from any family in her father’s tribe, so that every Israelite ³²  may retain the inheritance of his fathers.

Bilangan 36:13

36:13 These are the commandments and the decisions that the Lord commanded the Israelites through the authority ³³  of Moses, on the plains of Moab by the Jordan River ³⁴  opposite Jericho. ³⁵ 

[2:10]  ¹ tn Here and throughout the line is literally “[under] the standard of the camp of Reuben…according to their divisions.”

[2:17]  ² tn The Hebrew expression is עַל־יָדוֹ (’al-yado, “upon his hand”). This clearly refers to a specifically designated place for each man.

[9:5]  ³ tc The LXX omits this first clause; it also omits “at twilight.”

[14:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “said to stone them with stones.” The verb and the object are not from the same root, but the combination nonetheless forms an emphasis equal to the cognate accusative.

[14:10]  ⁵ tn The vav (ו) on the noun “glory” indicates a strong contrast, one that interrupts their threatened attack.

[14:10]  ⁶ sn The glory of the Lord refers to the reality of the Lord’s presence in a manifestation of his power and splendor. It showed to all that God was a living God. The appearance of the glory indicated blessing for the obedient, but disaster for the disobedient.

[14:10]  ⁷ tc The Greek, Syriac, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “in the cloud over the tent.”

[14:11]  ⁸ tn The verb נָאַץ (na’ats) means “to condemn, spurn” (BDB 610 s.v.). Coats suggests that in some contexts the word means actual rejection or renunciation (Rebellion in the Wilderness, 146, 7). This would include the idea of distaste.

[14:11]  ⁹ tn The verb “to believe” (root אָמַן, ’aman) has the basic idea of support, dependability for the root. The Hiphil has a declarative sense, namely, to consider something reliable or dependable and to act on it. The people did not trust what the Lord said.

[14:29]  ¹⁰ tn Or “your corpses” (also in vv. 32, 33).

[15:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “hand.”

[16:27]  ¹² tn The verb נִצָּבִים (nitsavim) suggests a defiant stance, for the word is often used in the sense of taking a stand for or against something. It can also be somewhat neutral, having the sense of positioning oneself for a purpose.

[16:28]  ¹³ tn Heb “in this.”

[16:28]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew text simply has כִּי־לֹא מִלִּבִּי (ki-lo’ millibbi, “for not from my heart”). The heart is the center of the will, the place decisions are made (see H. W. Wolff, Anthropology of the Old Testament). Moses is saying that the things he has done have not come “from the will of man” so to speak – and certainly not from some secret desire on his part to seize power.

[17:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “receive from them a rod, a rod from the house of a father.”

[17:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “from every leader of them according to their fathers’ house.”

[18:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “taken.”

[18:6]  ¹⁸ tn The infinitive construct in this sentence is from עָבַד (’avad), and so is the noun that serves as its object: to serve the service.

[21:33]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “people.”

[23:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “him,” but here it refers to the Israelites (Israel).

[23:9]  ²¹ sn Balaam reports his observation of the nation of Israel spread out below him in the valley. Based on that vision, and the Lord’s word, he announces the uniqueness of Israel – they are not just like one of the other nations. He was correct, of course; they were the only people linked with the living God by covenant.

[23:9]  ²² tn The verb could also be taken as a reflexive – Israel does not consider itself as among the nations, meaning, they consider themselves to be unique.

[24:20]  ²³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Balaam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:20]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and he lifted up his oracle and said.” So also in vv. 21, 23.

[24:20]  ²⁵ sn This probably means that it held first place, or it thought that it was “the first of the nations.” It was not the first, either in order or greatness.

[27:7]  ²⁶ tn Heb “[the daughters of Zelophehad] speak right” (using the participle דֹּבְרֹת [dovÿrot] with כֵּן [ken]).

[27:7]  ²⁷ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute with the imperfect tense. The imperfect is functioning as the imperfect of instruction, and so the infinitive strengthens the force of the instruction.

[27:7]  ²⁸ tn The verb is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive, from the root עָבַר (’avar, “to pass over”). Here it functions as the equivalent of the imperfect of instruction: “and you shall cause to pass,” meaning, “transfer.”

[31:28]  ²⁹ tn The verb is the Hiphil, “you shall cause to be taken up.” The perfect with vav (ו) continues the sequence of the instructions. This raised offering was to be a tax of one-fifth of one percent for the Lord.

[31:54]  ³⁰ tn The Hebrew text does not repeat the word “commanders” here, but it is implied.

[31:54]  ³¹ tn The purpose of the offering was to remind the Lord to remember Israel. But it would also be an encouragement for Israel as they remembered the great victory.

[36:8]  ³² tn The subject is “Israelites” and the verb is plural to agree with it, but the idea is collective as the word for “man” indicates: “so that the Israelites may possess – [each] man the inheritance of his fathers.”

[36:13]  ³³ tn Heb “by the hand.”

[36:13]  ³⁴ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
