Numbers 14:9

Context
14:9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, and do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. 1  Their protection 2  has turned aside from them, but the Lord is with us. Do not fear them!”

1 sn The expression must indicate that they could destroy the enemies as easily as they could eat bread.

2 tn Heb “their shade.” The figure compares the shade from the sun with the protection from the enemy. It is also possible that the text is alluding to their deities here.
