Numbers 6:12

6:12 He must rededicate ¹  to the Lord the days of his separation and bring a male lamb in its first year as a reparation offering, ²  but the former days will not be counted ³  because his separation ⁴  was defiled.

Numbers 14:29

14:29 Your dead bodies ⁵  will fall in this wilderness – all those of you who were numbered, according to your full number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me.

¹ tn The same idea is to be found now in the use of the word נָזַר (nazar), which refers to a recommitment after the vow was interrupted.

² tn The necessity of bringing the reparation offering was due to the reinstatement into the vow that had been interrupted.

³ tn Heb “will fall”; KJV “shall be lost”; ASV, NASB, NRSV “shall be void.”

⁴ tc The similar expression in v. 9 includes the word “head” (i.e., “his consecrated head”). The LXX includes this word in v. 12 as well.

⁵ tn Or “your corpses” (also in vv. 32, 33).
