Numbers 13:2

13:2 “Send out men to investigate 1  the land of Canaan, which I am giving 2  to the Israelites. You are to send one man from each ancestral tribe, 3  each one a leader among them.”

Numbers 32:32

32:32 We will cross armed in the Lord’s presence into the land of Canaan, and then the possession of our inheritance that we inherit will be ours on this side of the Jordan River.” 4 

1 tn The imperfect tense with the conjunction is here subordinated to the preceding imperative to form the purpose clause. It can thus be translated “send…to investigate.”

2 tn The participle here should be given a future interpretation, meaning “which I am about to give” or “which I am going to give.”

3 tn Heb “one man one man of the tribe of his fathers.”

4 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
