Numbers 26:6

26:6 from Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; from Carmi, the family of the Carmites.

Numbers 26:64

26:64 But there was not a man among these who had been ¹  among those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai.

Deuteronomy 1:39

1:39 Also, your infants, who you thought would die on the way, ²  and your children, who as yet do not know good from bad, ³  will go there; I will give them the land and they will possess it.

¹ tn “who had been” is added to clarify the text.

² tn Heb “would be a prey.”

³ sn Do not know good from bad. This is a figure of speech called a merism (suggesting a whole by referring to its extreme opposites). Other examples are the tree of “the knowledge of good and evil” (Gen 2:9), the boy who knows enough “to reject the wrong and choose the right” (Isa 7:16; 8:4), and those who “cannot tell their right hand from their left” (Jonah 4:11). A young child is characterized by lack of knowledge.
