Numbers 27:12

¹ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, ²  and see ³  the land I have given ⁴  to the Israelites.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain in the Abarim Range and see the land I have given the Israelites.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.

One day the LORD said to Moses, "Climb to the top of the mountains east of the river, and look out over the land I have given the people of Israel.

GOD said to Moses, "Climb up into the Abarim Mountains and look over at the land that I am giving to the People of Israel.

And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

The LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land that I have given to the Israelites.

Now the LORD said to Moses: "Go up into this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

¹ sn See further J. Lindblom, “Lot Casting in the Old Testament,” VT 12 (1962): 164-78; E. Lipinski, “Urim and Thummim,” VT 20 (1970): 495-96; and S. E. Loewenstamm, “The Death of Moses,” Tarbiz 27 (1957/58): 142-57.

² tc The Greek version adds “which is Mount Nebo.” This is a typical scribal change to harmonize two passages.

sn The area is in the mountains of Moab; Deut 34:1 more precisely identifies it as Mount Nebo.

³ tn The imperative could be subordinated to the first to provide a purpose clause, although a second instruction fits well enough.

⁴ tn This perfect tense would best be classified as a perfect of resolve: “which I have decided to give.” God had not yet given the land to them, but it was certain he would.
