1 tn Heb “to many you will multiply his inheritance.”

2 tn Heb “to a few you will lessen his inheritance.”

3 tn Heb “according to those that were numbered of him,” meaning, in accordance with the number of people in his clan.

4 tn The verb is the perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive: “command…and they will give,” or “that they give.”

5 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Israelites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

6 tn The “manslayer” is the verb “to kill” in a participial form, providing the subject of the clause. The verb means “to kill”; it can mean accidental killing, premeditated killing, or capital punishment. The clause uses the infinitive to express purpose or result: “to flee there the manslayer,” means “so that the manslayer may flee there.”

7 tn The infinitive construct “to give” serves here as the complement or object of the verb, answering what the Lord had commanded Moses.
