16:7 and in the morning you will see ¹  the glory of the Lord, because he has heard ²  your murmurings against the Lord. As for us, what are we, ³  that you should murmur against us?”

Bilangan 14:21

14:21 But truly, as I live, ⁴  all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.

Mazmur 72:19

72:19 His glorious name deserves praise ⁵  forevermore!

May his majestic splendor ⁶  fill the whole earth!

We agree! We agree! ⁷ 

Mazmur 4:8

4:8 I will lie down and sleep peacefully, ⁸ 

for you, Lord, make me safe and secure. ⁹ 

[16:7]  ¹ tn Heb “morning, and you will see.”

[16:7]  ² tn The form is a Qal infinitive construct with a preposition and a suffix. It forms an adverbial clause, usually of time, but here a causal clause.

[16:7]  ³ tn The words “as for us” attempt to convey the force of the Hebrew word order, which puts emphasis on the pronoun: “and we – what?” The implied answer to the question is that Moses and Aaron are nothing, merely the messengers. The next verse repeats the question to further press the seriousness of what the Israelites are doing.

[14:21]  ⁴ sn This is the oath formula, but in the Pentateuch it occurs here and in v. 28.

[72:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “[be] blessed.”

[72:19]  ⁶ tn Or “glory.”

[72:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “surely and surely” (אָמֵן וְאָמֵן [’amen vÿ’amen], i.e., “Amen and amen”). This is probably a congregational response of agreement to the immediately preceding statement about the propriety of praising God.

[4:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “in peace at the same time I will lie down and sleep.”

[4:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “for you, Lord, solitarily, securely make me dwell.” The translation understands לְבָדָד (lÿvadad) as modifying the verb; the Lord keeps enemies away from the psalmist so that he is safe and secure. Another option is to take לְבָדָד with what precedes and translate, “you alone, Lord, make me secure.”
