Numbers 19:22

Context
19:22 And whatever the unclean person touches will be unclean, and the person who touches it will be unclean until evening.’”

Numbers 24:18

Context

24:18 Edom will be a possession,

Seir, 7  his enemies, will also be a possession;

but Israel will act valiantly.

1 tn The verse begins with the preterite and vav (ו) consecutive: “and they offered.”

2 tn The direct object, “gifts,” is implied but not actually stated in the Hebrew text. It has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarity.

3 tn The sign of the accusative here must indicate an adverbial accusative and not the direct object; they offered their gifts for the dedication of the altar.

4 sn Some commentators take the word “dedication” in the sense of a dedication gift, and so make it the direct object. Many modern scholars assume that this is a late word, belonging only in P, the Chronicler, and the heading of Ps 30 (a Davidic psalm).

5 tn The adverbial clause uses the Niphal infinitive construct as the main verb. The word is the well-known מָשַׁח (mashakh, “to anoint, smear”).

6 tn Heb “offered,” but this is redundant and has been translated as “presented” for stylistic reasons. The same phrase occurs in vv. 11 and 12.

7 sn Seir is the chief mountain range of Edom (Deut 33:2), and so the reference here is to the general area of Edom.
