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 33:3

33:3 They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day ³  after the Passover the Israelites went out defiantly ⁴  in plain sight ⁵  of all the Egyptians.

[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.

[33:3]  ³ tn Heb “morrow.”

[33:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “with a high hand”; the expression means “defiantly; boldly” or “with confidence.” The phrase is usually used for arrogant sin and pride, the defiant fist, as it were. The image of the high hand can also mean the hand raised to deliver the blow (Job 38:15).

[33:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the eyes.”
