Numbers 14:12

14:12 I will strike them with the pestilence, ¹  and I will disinherit them; I will make you into a nation that is greater and mightier than they!”

Deuteronomy 9:14

9:14 Stand aside ²  and I will destroy them, obliterating their very name from memory, ³  and I will make you into a stronger and more numerous nation than they are.”

Deuteronomy 9:19

9:19 For I was terrified at the Lord’s intense anger ⁴  that threatened to destroy you. But he ⁵  listened to me this time as well.

¹ tc The Greek version has “death.”

² tn Heb “leave me alone.”

³ tn Heb “from under heaven.”

⁴ tn Heb “the anger and the wrath.” Although many English versions translate as two terms, this construction is a hendiadys which serves to intensify the emotion (cf. NAB, TEV “fierce anger”).

⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
