Bilangan 31:14
Konteks31:14 But Moses was furious with the officers of the army, the commanders over thousands and commanders over hundreds, who had come from service in the war.
Bilangan 31:1
Konteks31:1 1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
1 Samuel 8:12
Konteks8:12 He will appoint for himself leaders of thousands and leaders of fifties, 2 as well as those who plow his ground, reap his harvest, and make his weapons of war and his chariot equipment.
[31:1] 1 sn This lengthy chapter records the mobilization of the troops (vv. 1-5), the war itself (vv. 6-13), the death of the captive women (vv. 14-18), the purification of the nations (vv. 19-24), and the distribution of the spoils (vv. 25-54). For more detail, see G. W. Coats, “Moses in Midian,” JBL 92 (1973): 3-10; and W. J. Dumbrell, “Midian – a Land or a League?” VT 25 (1975): 323-37.
[8:12] 2 tc The numbers of v. 12 are confused in the Greek and Syriac versions. For “fifties” the LXX has “hundreds.” The Syriac Peshitta has “heads of thousands and heads of hundreds and heads of fifties and heads of tens,” perhaps reflecting influence from Deut 1:15.
