Bilangan 20:16

20:16 So when we cried to the Lord, he heard our voice and sent a messenger, ¹  and has brought us up out of Egypt. Now ²  we are here in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your country. ³ 

Mazmur 29:8

29:8 The Lord’s shout shakes ⁴  the wilderness,

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. ⁵ 

[20:16]  ¹ tn The word could be rendered “angel” or “messenger.” Some ambiguity may be intended in this report.

[20:16]  ² tn The Hebrew text uses הִנֵּה (hinneh) to emphasize the “here and now” aspect of the report to Edom.

[20:16]  ³ tn Heb “your border.”

[29:8]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew imperfect verbal forms are descriptive in function; the psalmist depicts the action as underway.

[29:8]  ⁵ sn Kadesh. The references to Lebanon and Sirion in v. 6 suggest this is a reference to the northern Kadesh, located north of Damascus, not the southern Kadesh mentioned so often in the OT. See M. Dahood, Psalms (AB), 1:178.
