1115 The sequence in 4QNumb agrees with the SP and the LXX.
1116 4QNumb has an interpolation that harmonises with Num 32:1 and 29, also found in the SP.
The additional text in 4QNumb is lacking from the MT and the SP, but can be restored on the basis of
the LXX: N(nk Cr) l) hmkynpl Mhynqm t)w Mhy#n t)w Mp+ t) wryb(hw hwhy ynpl hmxlml, “to make war be-
fore Yahweh, then you will cause to pass over their small children, and their wives, and their cattle before
you to the land of Canaan.” See E. Ulrich and F.M. Cross, Qumran Cave 4. VII, 257, for this reconstruc-
tion. 1117
The phrase, restored Pswy ynb, “the sons of Joseph,” appears to be included in the list in 4QNumb against
the other witnesses.
