14:15 If you kill 1 this entire people at once, 2 then the nations that have heard of your fame will say,
14:16 ‘Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to them, he killed them in the wilderness.’
1 tn The verb is the Hiphil perfect of מוּת (mut), וְהֵמַתָּה (vÿhemattah). The vav (ו) consecutive makes this also a future time sequence verb, but again in a conditional clause.
