The phrase hyrdn lk, “all her vows,” in 4QNumb harmonises with the same phrase in Num 30:5, 6, 12
and 15. 1107
1108 The MT has a singular noun, hrdn, “her vow,” against the plural in 4QNumb, the SP and the LXX.
The phrase hyrs)w hyrdn, “her vows and obligations,” in 4QNumb harmonises with the same or similar
phrase used repreatedly in Num 30:5-8. 1109
The audience of Moses’ address is clarified in 4QNumb as l)r#y ynb, “the sons of Israel,” perhaps in
line with the reference to the same in the previous verse. This is against the more general description of the
audience as 1110 M(h, “the people,” in the MT, the SP and the LXX.
4QNumb replaces the absolute noun Mym, “waters,” with the construct hdn ym, “waters of (purity from)
menstruation.” This possibly harmonises with the same construction in Num 19:9, 13 and 20.
