1112 4QNumb specifies Mydqph lwk, “all the officers.” The LXX also has the adjective παντες, “all.”
1113 The interpolation in 4QNumb harmonises with Num 31:14.
A likely reading of the text is that the infinitive construct in the MT rpkl, “to attone,” is written as a
waw consecutive plus perfect verb in 4QNumb: (w)rpkw, “and it/they will attone.”
