Numbers 32:30

32:30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must receive possessions among you in Canaan.”

[1:5]  ¹ tn The verb is עָמַד (’amad, “to stand”). It literally then is, “who will stand with you.” They will help in the count, but they will also serve as leaders as the camp moves from place to place.

[1:5]  ² tn The preposition lamed (ל) prefixed to the name could be taken in the sense of “from,” but could also be “with regard to” (specification).

[32:23]  ³ tn The nuance of the perfect tense here has to be the future perfect.
