Numbers 14:17

14:17 So now, let the power of my Lord ¹  be great, just as you have said,

Numbers 27:7

27:7 “The daughters of Zelophehad have a valid claim. ²  You must indeed ³  give them possession of an inheritance among their father’s relatives, and you must transfer ⁴  the inheritance of their father to them.

¹ tc The form in the text is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay), the word that is usually used in place of the tetragrammaton. It is the plural form with the pronominal suffix, and so must refer to God.

² tn Heb “[the daughters of Zelophehad] speak right” (using the participle דֹּבְרֹת [dovÿrot] with כֵּן [ken]).

³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute with the imperfect tense. The imperfect is functioning as the imperfect of instruction, and so the infinitive strengthens the force of the instruction.

⁴ tn The verb is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive, from the root עָבַר (’avar, “to pass over”). Here it functions as the equivalent of the imperfect of instruction: “and you shall cause to pass,” meaning, “transfer.”
