Instead of trusting God's promise, they threatened to stone the faithful spies, Joshua and Caleb. This act of rebellion provoked a divine response, as the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting, signaling God's presence and authority over the situation.

The Key Word — כָּבוֹד, u.khe.Vodgenerated
The word כָּבוֹד (kabod) signifies glory, often associated with honor and splendor. It conveys the weightiness of God's presence, indicating both His majesty and the reverence due to Him. The parsing as a common masculine singular noun suggests it is a fundamental concept in understanding God's nature and His relationship with His people.
In this context, the glory of the LORD appearing emphasizes God's response to the rebellion of the people. It serves as a reminder of His power and the seriousness of their actions against His chosen leaders.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb is יֹּֽאמְרוּ֙, they said, which governs the entire first clause about the congregation's threat. The structure includes a noun phrase for the subject, a prepositional phrase indicating the action, and a separate clause concerning the LORD's glory appearing.
The sentence is complex, with multiple phrases detailing the actions of the congregation and the divine response, reflecting a narrative style that builds tension before revealing God's intervention.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, כָּבוֹד is rendered as δόχα, which also means glory. This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, emphasizing the majesty and splendor of God.
The translation of נִרְאָה as ὤφθη indicates a clear visibility of God's presence, reinforcing the dramatic moment when the glory of the LORD manifests in response to the people's actions.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Stoning appears to have been a mode of death commonly adopted in Egypt (Exodus 8:26). Under the Jewish law stoning was the ordinary, and, as some think, the only prescribed mode of death, and was inflicted as the punishment for crimes such as adultery (Deuteronomy 22:22; Deuteronomy 22:24), idolatry (Deuteronomy 13:10), witchcraft (Leviticus 20:27), sabbath-breaking (Numbers 15:35), and blasphemy (Leviticus 24:16).

1. Terms Employed:
These two words rendered by "congregation" or "assembly" are used apparently without any difference of sense. They appear to include an assembly of the whole people or any section that might be present on a given occasion. Indeed, sometimes the idea appears to correspond closely to that conveyed by "horde," or even by "crowd." `Edhah is once used of bees (Jud 14:8). It has been sought to distinguish the two words by means of Le 4:13, "if the whole `edhah of Israel err, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the qahal." The qahal would then be the smaller body representing the whole `edhah, but the general usage is not favorable to this view (compare e.g. Ex 12:19, "cutting off…
Congregation
(Heb. kahal), the Hebrew people collectively as a holy community (Num. 15:15). Every circumcised Hebrew from twenty years old and upward was a member of the congregation. Strangers resident in the land, if circumcised, were, with certain exceptions (Ex. 12:19; Num. 9:14; Deut. 23:1-3), admitted to the privileges of citizenship, and spoken of as members of the congregation (Ex. 12:19; Num. 9:14; 15:15). The congregation were summonded together by the sound of two silver trumpets, and they met at the door of the tabernacle (
This describes the Hebrew people in its collective capacity under its peculiar aspect as a holy community, held together by religious rather than political bonds. Sometimes it is used in a broad sense as inclusive of foreign settlers, (Exodus 12:19) but more properly as exclusively appropriate to the Hebrew element of the population. (Numbers 15:15) The congregation was governed by the father or head of each family and tribe. The number of these representatives being inconveniently large for ordinary business, a further selection was made by Moses of 70, who formed a species of standing committee. (Numbers 11:16) Occasionally indeed the whole body of people was assembled at the door of the tabernacle, hence usually called…

Stone
Stones were commonly used for buildings, also as memorials of important events (Gen. 28:18; Josh. 24:26, 27; 1 Sam. 7:12, etc.). They were gathered out of cultivated fields (Isa. 5:2; comp. 2 Kings 3:19). This word is also used figuratively of believers (1 Pet. 2:4, 5), and of the Messiah (Ps. 118:22; Isa. 28:16; Matt. 21:42; Acts 4:11, etc.). In…

In early ages, flint-stone knives were in common use, instead of steel, Ex 4:25 Jos 5:2.
It was also customary to raise a heap or mound of stones in commemoration of any remarkable event, Ge 31:46 Jos 4:5-7 7:26 8:29…

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb

the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy
