Numbers 2:34

2:34 So the Israelites did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; that is the way ¹  they camped under their standards, and that is the way they traveled, each with his clan and family.

Numbers 13:2

13:2 “Send out men to investigate ²  the land of Canaan, which I am giving ³  to the Israelites. You are to send one man from each ancestral tribe, ⁴  each one a leader among them.”

Numbers 36:8

36:8 And every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any of the tribes of the Israelites must become the wife of a man from any family in her father’s tribe, so that every Israelite ⁵  may retain the inheritance of his fathers.

[2:34]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word is כֵּן (ken, “thus, so”).

[13:2]  ² tn The imperfect tense with the conjunction is here subordinated to the preceding imperative to form the purpose clause. It can thus be translated “send…to investigate.”

[13:2]  ³ tn The participle here should be given a future interpretation, meaning “which I am about to give” or “which I am going to give.”

[13:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “one man one man of the tribe of his fathers.”

[36:8]  ³ tn The subject is “Israelites” and the verb is plural to agree with it, but the idea is collective as the word for “man” indicates: “so that the Israelites may possess – [each] man the inheritance of his fathers.”
