Bilangan 13:31

13:31 But the men ¹  who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against these people, because they are stronger than we are!”

Bilangan 32:9

32:9 When ²  they went up to the Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they frustrated the intent of the Israelites so that they did not enter ³  the land that the Lord had given ⁴  them.

[13:31]  ¹ tn The vav (ו) disjunctive on the noun at the beginning of the clause forms a strong adversative clause here.

[32:9]  ² tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive is here subordinated to the parallel yet chronologically later verb in the next clause.

[32:9]  ³ tn The infinitive construct here with lamed (ל) is functioning as a result clause.

[32:9]  ⁴ tn The Lord had not given it yet, but was going to give it. Hence, the perfect should be classified as a perfect of resolve.
