God-fearing <03373> [such as.]
<0582> [men.]
hate <08130> [hating.]
rulers ... thousands rulers .... rulers ..... rulers <0505 08269> [rulers of thousands.]
Whatever matter the {decarch,} or ruler over ten, could not decide, went to the {pentecontarch,} or ruler of fifty, and thence by degrees to the {hecatontarch,} or ruler over a hundred, to the {chiliarch,} or ruler over a thousand, to Moses, and at length to God himself. Each magistrate had the care or inspection of only ten men; the {decarch} superintended ten private characters; the {hecatontarch} ten {decarchs;} and the {chiliarch,} ten {hecatontarchs.}

Numbers 21:1-3
Arad <06166> [Arad.]
road ... Atharim <0871 01870> [the way of the spies.]
Dr. Kennicott remarks, that the word {atharim,} rendered spies in our version, is in the Greek a proper name ([Atharein,] Atharim).

made <05087> [vowed.]
utterly <02763> [I will.]
listened <08085> [hearkened.]
utterly <02763> [and they utterly.]
{Wyyacharem,} rather with the LXX. [kai anethematisen,] "and they anathematised, or devoted them to destruction;" for it is certain that these Canaanites and Arad were not utterly destroyed till the time of Joshua. (Jos 12:14.)
name <08034> [the name.]
{Hormah,} that is, utter destruction. {Chormah,} rather a devoting to destruction: so LXX. [Anathema,] and Tremellius, {devotio sive anathema.}

advise <03289> [I will advertise.]

see ....... behold <07200 07789> [I shall see him.]
The Targum of Onkelos translates this passage in the following manner: "I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but he is not near. When a king shall arise from the house of Jacob, and the Messiah be anointed from the house of Israel; he shall slay the princes of Moab, and rule over all the children of men." The marginal references will direct the reader to the fulfilment of these remarkable prophecies.
