Numbers 16:14

Context
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 36:2

Context
36:2 They said, “The Lord commanded my lord to give 3  the land as an inheritance by lot to the Israelites; and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.

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 The infinitive construct “to give” serves here as the complement or object of the verb, answering what the Lord had commanded Moses.
