Bilangan 16:14

16:14 Moreover, ¹  you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, nor given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you think you can blind ²  these men? We will not come up.”

Bilangan 19:10

19:10 The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer must wash his clothes and be ceremonially unclean until evening. This will be a permanent ordinance both for the Israelites and the resident foreigner who lives among them.

Bilangan 19:19

19:19 And the clean person must sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he must purify him, ³  and then he must wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and he will be clean in the evening.

Bilangan 27:3

27:3 “Our father died in the wilderness, although ⁴  he was not part of ⁵  the company of those that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but he died for his own sin, ⁶  and he had no sons.

[16:14]  ¹ tn Here אַף (’af) has the sense of “in addition.” It is not a common use.

[16:14]  ² tn Heb “will you bore out the eyes of these men?” The question is “Will you continue to mislead them?” (or “hoodwink” them). In Deut 16:19 it is used for taking a bribe; something like that kind of deception is intended here. They are simply stating that Moses is a deceiver who is misleading the people with false promises.

[19:19]  ³ tn The construction uses a simple Piel of חָטָא (khata’, “to purify”) with a pronominal suffix – “he shall purify him.” Some commentators take this to mean that after he sprinkles the unclean then he must purify himself. But that would not be the most natural way to read this form.

[27:3]  ⁴ tn This clause begins with a vav (ו) on a pronoun, marking it out as a disjunctive vav. In this context it fits best to take it as a circumstantial clause introducing concession.

[27:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the midst of.”

[27:3]  ⁶ tn The word order is emphatic: “but in/on account of his own sins he died.”
