¹ tn The word אִם (’im) indicates a negative oath formula: “if” means “they will not.” It is elliptical. In a human oath one would be saying: “The Lord do to me if they see…,” meaning “they will by no means see.” Here God is swearing that they will not see the land.

² tn The qualification comes at the end of the verse, and simply says “in her youth.”

³ tn The Hebrew text just has “in her father’s house” and not “who is still living,” but that is the meaning of the line.
