Bilangan 13:1

Spies Sent Out

13:1 ¹ The Lord spoke ²  to Moses:

Bilangan 14:45

14:45 So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country swooped ³  down and attacked them ⁴  as far as Hormah. ⁵ 

[13:1]  ¹ sn Chapter 13 provides the names of the spies sent into the land (vv. 1-16), their instructions (vv. 17-20), their activities (vv. 21-25), and their reports (vv. 26-33). It is a chapter that serves as a good lesson on faith, for some of the spies walked by faith, and some by sight.

[13:1]  ² tn The verse starts with the vav (ו) consecutive on the verb: “and….”

[14:45]  ³ tn Heb “came down.”

[14:45]  ⁴ tn The verb used here means “crush by beating,” or “pounded” them. The Greek text used “cut them in pieces.”

[14:45]  ⁵ tn The name “Hormah” means “destruction”; it is from the word that means “ban, devote” for either destruction or temple use.
