Numbers 16:27

Context

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 tn The verb נִצָּבִים (nitsavim) suggests a defiant stance, for the word is often used in the sense of taking a stand for or against something. It can also be somewhat neutral, having the sense of positioning oneself for a purpose.

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.”
