Numbers 32:7-9
New English Translation

7 Why do you frustrate the intent[a] of the Israelites to cross over into the land that the Lord has given them? 8 Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. 9 When[b] they went up to the Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they frustrated the intent of the Israelites so that they did not enter[c] the land that the Lord had given[d] them.

Footnotes

  1. Numbers 32:7 tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 9.
  2. Numbers 32:9 tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive is here subordinated to the parallel yet chronologically later verb in the next clause.
  3. Numbers 32:9 tn The infinitive construct here with ל (lamed) is functioning as a result clause.
  4. Numbers 32:9 tn The Lord had not given it yet, but was going to give it. Hence, the perfect should be classified as a perfect of resolve.
