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 relative pronoun “which” is joined with the resumptive pronoun “in it” to form a smoother reading “where.”

3 tn The Hebrew text uses the anthropomorphic expression “I raised my hand” in taking an oath.

4 tn Heb “to cause you to dwell; to cause you to settle.”
