4QNumb has a redundant repitition of the subject of the verb (lbt, namely Cr)h, “the land.” The SP
agrees with the reading in 4QNum 1094 b.
The additional text in 4QNumb is possibly harmonised with Num 16:35 (so ) though this addition is not
found in any other witness. 4QNumb can be restored on this basis: trw+qh ybyrqm #y) Myt)mw My#mx, “two
hundred and fifty men 1095 from the midst of the incense.”
1096 The demonstrative pronoun is lacking in the MT, cf. Num 26 passim.
The LXX agrees with the plural noun in 4QNumb which, given that five names are referred to in the
text following, appears to be the grammatically correct form. The singular noun in the MT is in agreement
with the SP.
