The Spies’ Instructions

13:17 When Moses sent ¹  them to investigate the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev, ²  and then go up into the hill country

Bilangan 14:25

14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites were living in the valleys.) ³  Tomorrow, turn and journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”

Bilangan 21:11

21:11 Then they traveled on from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim, ⁴  in the wilderness that is before Moab, on the eastern side. ⁵ 

[13:17]  ¹ tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive is here subordinated to the next verb of the same formation to express a temporal clause.

[13:17]  ² tn The instructions had them first go up into the southern desert of the land, and after passing through that, into the hill country of the Canaanites. The text could be rendered “into the Negev” as well as “through the Negev.”

[14:25]  ³ sn The judgment on Israel is that they turn back to the desert and not attack the tribes in the land. So a parenthetical clause is inserted to state who was living there. They would surely block the entrance to the land from the south – unless God removed them. And he is not going to do that for Israel.

[21:11]  ⁴ sn These places are uncertain. Oboth may be some 15 miles (25 km) from the south end of the Dead Sea at a place called ‘Ain el-Weiba. Iye Abarim may be the modern Mahay at the southeastern corner of Moab. See J. Simons, The Geographical and Topographical Texts of the Old Testament.

[21:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “the rising of the sun.”
