NETBible

But stay about three thousand feet behind it.¹ Keep your distance² so you can see³ which way you should go, for you have not traveled this way before.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “But there should be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits in measurement.”

¹sn The precise distance is uncertain, but the measurement designated אַמָּה (’ammah, “cubit”) was probably equivalent to approximately eighteen inches (one and one-half feet, or 45 cm) in length.

²tn Heb “do not approach it.”

³tn Heb “know.”
