Numbers 32:17-19
New English Translation
17 but we will maintain ourselves in armed readiness[a] and go before the Israelites until whenever we have brought them to their place. Our descendants will be living in fortified towns as a protection against[b] the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has his inheritance. 19 For we will not accept any inheritance on the other side of the Jordan River[c] and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this eastern side of the Jordan.”

- Numbers 32:17 tn The MT has חֻשִׁים (khushim); the verbal root is חוּשׁ (khush, “to make haste” or “hurry”). But in light of the Greek and Latin Vulgate the Hebrew should probably be emended to חֲמֻשִׁים (hamushim), a qal passive participle meaning “in battle array.” See further BDB 301 s.v. I חוּשׁ, BDB 332 s.v. חֲמֻשִׁים; HALOT 300 s.v. I חושׁ, חישׁ; HALOT 331 s.v. I חמשׁ.
- Numbers 32:17 tn Heb “from before.”
- Numbers 32:19 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
