Numbers 30:1

Context
Vows Made by Men

30:1 3 Moses told the leaders 4  of the tribes concerning the Israelites, “This is what 5  the Lord has commanded:

1 tn The verb is simply “stand,” but in the more general sense of waiting to hear the answer.

2 tn The cohortative may be subordinated to the imperative: “stand…[that I] may hear.”

3 sn Num 30 deals with vows that are different than the vows discussed in Lev 27 and Num 6. The material is placed here after all the rulings of the offerings, but it could have been revealed to Moses at any time, such as the Nazirite vows, or the question of the daughters’ inheritance. The logic of placing it here may be that a festival was the ideal place for discharging a vow. For additional material on vows, see R. de Vaux, Ancient Israel, 465-66.

4 tn Heb “heads.”

5 tn Heb “This is the word which.”
