Numbers 16:14

16:14 Moreover, ¹  you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, nor given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you think you can blind ²  these men? We will not come up.”

Numbers 36:6

36:6 This is what ³  the Lord has commanded for Zelophehad’s daughters: ‘Let them marry ⁴  whomever they think best, ⁵  only they must marry within the family of their father’s tribe.

¹ tn Here אַף (’af) has the sense of “in addition.” It is not a common use.

² tn Heb “will you bore out the eyes of these men?” The question is “Will you continue to mislead them?” (or “hoodwink” them). In Deut 16:19 it is used for taking a bribe; something like that kind of deception is intended here. They are simply stating that Moses is a deceiver who is misleading the people with false promises.

³ tn Heb “the word that.”

⁴ tn The idiom again is “let them be for wives for….”

⁵ tn Heb “to the one who is good in their eyes.”
