Deuteronomy 1:28

Context
1:28 What is going to happen to us? Our brothers have drained away our courage 1  by describing people who are more numerous 2  and taller than we are, and great cities whose defenses appear to be as high as heaven 3  itself! Moreover, they said they saw 4  Anakites 5  there.”

Deuteronomy 33:17

Context

33:17 May the firstborn of his bull bring him honor,

and may his horns be those of a wild ox;

with them may he gore all peoples,

all the far reaches of the earth.

They are the ten thousands of Ephraim, 6 

and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

[1:28]  1 tn Heb “have caused our hearts to melt.”

[1:28]  2 tn Heb “greater.” Many English versions understand this to refer to physical size or strength rather than numbers (cf. “stronger,” NAB, NIV, NRSV; “bigger,” NASB).

[1:28]  3 tn Or “as the sky.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[1:28]  4 tn Heb “we have seen.”

[1:28]  5 tn Heb “the sons of the Anakim.”

[33:17]  6 sn Ephraim and Manasseh were the sons of Joseph who became founders of the two tribes into which Joseph’s descendants were split (Gen 48:19-20). Jacob’s blessing granted favored status to Ephraim; this is probably why Ephraim is viewed here as more numerous than Manasseh.
