The phrase in 4QNumb is restored: Cr)h Nm, “from the land,” and harmonises with Num 22:6, cf. note
above. 1074
4QNumb is restored: My#n)h M(, “with the men.” The masculine plural definite noun My#n)h is given
only as a 3mpl pronominal suffix in the MT. The latter finds support in the readings of the SP and the
LXX.. 1075
The command that Balaam gives the princes of Moab is equivalent between the sources in the context.
4QNumb is restored: hmkynwd) l) wkl, “go to your master,” against the reading in the MT: Mkcr) l) wkl,
“go to your land.” There is support for both readings: 4QNumb agrees with the LXX, while the MT agrees
with the SP.
