Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Num 16:14

¹ tn Here אַף (’af) has the sense of “in addition.” It is not a common use.

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.
