Numbers 11:27

Context
11:27 And a 1  young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”

Numbers 31:35

Context
31:35 and 32,000 young women who had never had sexual intercourse with a man. 2 

1 tn The article indicates that the “young man” was definite in the mind of the writer, but indefinite in English.

2 sn Here again we encounter one of the difficulties of the book, the use of the large numbers. Only twelve thousand soldiers fought the Midianites, but they brought back this amount of plunder, including 32,000 girls. Until a solution for numbers in the book can be found, or the current translation confirmed, one must remain cautious in interpretation.
