Numbers 16:11

Context
16:11 Therefore you and all your company have assembled together against the Lord! And Aaron – what is he that you murmur against him?” 1 

Numbers 22:13

Context

22:13 So Balaam got up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land, 2  for the Lord has refused to permit me to go 3  with you.”

1 sn The question indicates that they had been murmuring against Aaron, that is, expressing disloyalty and challenging his leadership. But it is actually against the Lord that they had been murmuring because the Lord had put Aaron in that position.

2 tc The LXX adds “to your lord.”

3 tn The main verb is the Piel perfect, “he has refused.” This is followed by two infinitives. The first (לְתִתִּי, lÿtitti) serves as a complement or direct object of the verb, answering the question of what he refused to do – “to give me.” The second infinitive (לַהֲלֹךְ, lahalokh) provides the object for the preceding infinitive: “to grant me to go.”
