[14:23]  1 tn The word אִם (’im) indicates a negative oath formula: “if” means “they will not.” It is elliptical. In a human oath one would be saying: “The Lord do to me if they see…,” meaning “they will by no means see.” Here God is swearing that they will not see the land.

[3:11]  2 tn Grk “if they shall enter my rest,” a Hebrew idiom expressing an oath that something will certainly not happen.
