Numbers 11:21

New English Translation

²¹Moses said, “The people around me^[a] are 600,000 on foot;^[b] but you say, ‘I will give them meat,^[c] that they may eat^[d] for a whole month.’

Numbers 11:21 tn Heb “the people who I am in their midst,” i.e., among whom I am.
Numbers 11:21 tn The Hebrew sentence stresses the number. The sentence begins “600,000….”
Numbers 11:21 tn The word order places the object first here: “Meat I will give them.” This adds to the contrast between the number and the statement of the Lord.
Numbers 11:21 tn The verb is the perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive, carrying the sequence from the preceding imperfect tense. However, this verb may be subordinated to the preceding to express a purpose clause.

Numbers 11:22
