- Numbers 1:18 tc The LXX adds “of the second year.”
- Numbers 1:18 tn The verb is the Hitpael preterite form וַיִּתְיַלְדוּ (vayyityaledu). The cognate noun תּוֹלְדוֹת (toledot) is the word that means “genealogies, family records, records of ancestry.” The root is יָלַד (yalad, “to bear, give birth to”). Here they were recording their family connections, and not, of course, producing children. The verbal stem seems to be both declarative and reflexive.
- Numbers 1:18 tn The verb is supplied. The Hebrew text simply has “in/with the number of names of those who are twenty years old and higher according to their skulls.”
