Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Num 12:13) | 1 tc Some scholars emend אֵל (ʾel, “God”) to עַל (ʿal, “no”). The effect of this change may be seen in the NAB: “Please, not this! Pray, heal her!” |
| (0.30) | (Num 11:31) | 5 tn Heb “two cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about 18 inches (45 cm) in length. |
| (0.30) | (Num 11:11) | 1 tn The verb is the Hiphil of רָעַע (raʿaʿ, “to be evil”). Moses laments (with the rhetorical question) that God seems to have caused him harm. |
| (0.30) | (Num 10:6) | 2 tn The Hebrew text has “they shall blow an alarm”; the sentence without a formal subject should be taken as a passive idea. |
| (0.30) | (Num 10:2) | 4 tn Heb “and they shall be for you for assembling,” which is the way of expressing possession. Here the intent concerns how Moses was to use them. |
| (0.30) | (Num 10:9) | 1 tn Both the “adversary” and “opposes” come from the same root: צָרַר (tsarar), “to hem in, oppress, harass,” or basically, “be an adversary.” |
| (0.30) | (Num 10:9) | 2 tn The Niphal perfect in this passage has the passive nuance and not a reflexive idea—the Israelites would be spared because God remembered them. |
| (0.30) | (Num 8:7) | 1 tn Or, more literally, “and thus you shall do.” The verb is the imperfect tense of instruction or legislation. Here it introduces the procedures to be followed. |
| (0.30) | (Num 7:5) | 3 tn The sentence uses the infinitive construct expressing purpose, followed by its cognate accusative: “[that they may be] for doing the work of” (literally, “serving the service of”). |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:18) | 3 tn Heb “which is under the peace offering.” The verse does not mean that the hair had to be put under that sacrifice and directly on the fire. |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:12) | 1 tn The same idea is to be found now in the use of the word נָזַר (nazar), which refers to a recommitment after the vow was interrupted. |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:10) | 1 tn The imperfect tense in this verse is still instructional rather than a simple future. The translations can vary, but the point that it is directive must be caught. |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:2) | 3 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct followed by the cognate accusative: “to vow a vow.” This intensifies the idea that the vow is being taken carefully. |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:3) | 3 tn This word occurs only here. It may come from the word “to water, to be moist,” and so refer to juice. |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:4) | 2 sn Here is another hapax legomenon, a word only found here. The word seems linked to the verb “to be clear,” and so may mean the thin skin of the grape. The reason for the strictness with these two words in this verse is uncertain. We know the actual meanings of the words, and the combination must form a merism here, meaning no part of the grape could be eaten. Abstaining from these common elements of food was to be a mark of commitment to the Lord. Hos 3:1 even denounces the raisin cakes as part of a pagan world, and eating them would be a violation of the oath. |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:2) | 2 tn The vow is considered special in view of the use of the verb יַפְלִא (yafliʾ), the Hiphil imperfect of the verb “to be wonderful, extraordinary.” |
| (0.30) | (Num 5:21) | 7 sn Most commentators take the expressions to be euphemisms of miscarriage or stillbirth, meaning that there would be no fruit from an illegitimate union. The idea of the abdomen swelling has been reinterpreted by NEB to mean “fall away.” If this interpretation stands, then the idea is that the woman has become pregnant, and that has aroused the suspicion of the husband for some reason. R. K. Harrison (Numbers [WEC], 111-13) discusses a variety of other explanations for diseases and conditions that might be described by these terms. He translates it with “miscarriage,” but leaves open what the description might actually be. Cf. NRSV “makes your uterus drop, your womb discharge.” |
| (0.30) | (Num 5:15) | 4 tn The final verbal form, מַזְכֶּרֶת (mazkeret), explains what the memorial was all about—it was causing iniquity to be remembered. |
| (0.30) | (Num 4:49) | 1 tn The verb is the simple perfect tense—“he numbered them.” There is no expressed subject; therefore, the verb can be rendered as a passive. |
| (0.30) | (Num 4:15) | 5 tn The imperfect tense may be given the nuance of negated instruction (“they are not to”) or negated obligation (“they must not”). |
