Numbers 15:39-41  New English Translation

39 You must have this tassel so that you may look at it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and obey them and so that you do not follow[a] after your own heart and your own eyes that lead you to unfaithfulness.[b] 40 Thus[c] you will remember and obey all my commandments and be holy to your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God.”

Footnotes

  1. Numbers 15:39 tn Heb “seek out, look into.”
  2. Numbers 15:39 tn This last clause is a relative clause explaining the influence of the human heart and physical sight. It literally says, “which you go whoring after them.” The verb for “whoring” may be interpreted to mean “act unfaithfully.” So, the idea is these influences lead to unfaithful activity: “after which you act unfaithfully.”
  3. Numbers 15:40 tn This clause also serves as a purpose/result clause of the preceding—“in order that you may remember….” But because the line is so long, it is simpler to make this a separate sentence in the translation.
