Numbers 16:31

When he had finished ¹  speaking ²  all these words, the ground that was under them split open,

Nu 26:10,11; Nu 27:3; De 11:6; Ps 106:17,18

¹ tn The initial temporal clause is standard: It begins with the temporal indicator “and it was,” followed here by the Piel infinitive construct with the preposition and the subjective genitive suffix. “And it happened when he finished.”

² tn The infinitive construct with the preposition lamed (ל) functions here as the direct object of the preceding infinitive. It tells what he finished.
