The Key Word — נָסַע, vai.yis.'Ugenerated
The verb נָסַע (nasa') means to set out or depart, particularly in the context of a journey. It is used frequently in the Old Testament to describe the movement of the Israelites as they traveled through the wilderness, emphasizing the act of leaving one place for another.
The parsing as a sequential imperfect third person masculine plural indicates that this action was ongoing and involves a group. This word captures the essence of the Israelites' journey, highlighting their continuous movement and reliance on God's direction.
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
Two finite verbs govern the verse: נָסַע (they set out) and חָנָה (they encamped). The first verb introduces the action of departing, while the second verb indicates the subsequent action of camping.
The structure emphasizes the sequence of actions: first, the Israelites set out from one location, and then they camped at another. This sequential flow reflects the journey's progression, showing how the Israelites moved through the wilderness.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נָסַע as ἀπῆραν (apēran), meaning 'they departed.' This choice reflects a straightforward rendering of the Hebrew verb, maintaining the sense of leaving one place for another.
This translation captures the essence of the journey while emphasizing the act of departure, which is central to the narrative of the Israelites' travels.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Numbers 33:47 tells us that the Israelites set out from a place called Almon-diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim, which is near Nebo. This verse is part of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness as they moved towards the Promised Land.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Almon-diblathaim is interpreted as meaning 'concealing the two cakes' and is a location where the Israelites camped during their wilderness journey.
The mountains of Abarim are significant as they are located east of the Jordan River and include Mount Nebo, where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death.
The Israelites camped at these locations as they traveled through the wilderness, following God's guidance as they journeyed towards the Promised Land.
To encamp means to set up a temporary dwelling or to pitch tents, as the Israelites did during their travels in the wilderness.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text records the verse as: וַיִּסְע֖וּ מֵעַלְמֹ֣ן דִּבְלָתָ֑יְמָה וַֽיַּחֲנ֛וּ בְּהָרֵ֥י הָעֲבָרִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י נְבֽוֹ׃. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly in the spelling of Almon-diblathaim, but the overall meaning remains consistent with the Masoretic Text. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain fragments that align with the MT, indicating preservation of the text through time.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]

This fact affords the most natural explanation of the phrases `the mountains of the Abarim' (Nu 33:47,48); `this mountain-country of the Abarim' (Nu 27:12; De 32:49); Iye-abarim, which means "Heaps of the Abarim," or "Mounds of the Abarim" (Nu 21:11; 33:44).

Abarim
Regions beyond; i.e., on the east of Jordan, a mountain, or rather a mountain-chain, over against Jericho, to the east and south-east of the Dead Sea, in the land of Moab. From “the top of Pisgah”, i.e., Mount Nebo (q.v.), one of its summits, Moses surveyed the Promised Land (Deut. 3:27; 32:49), and there he died (34:1,5). The Israelites had one of their encampments in the mountains of Abarim (Num. 33:47,48) after crossing the Arnon.
(regions beyond), a mountain or range of highlands on the east of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, facing Jericho, and forming the eastern wall of the Jordan valley at that part. Its most elevated spot was "the Mount Nebo, ’head’ of ’the’ Pisgah," from which Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death. These mountains are mentioned in (Numbers 27:12; 33:47,48) and Deuteronomy 32:49
Mountains east of the Dead Sea and the lower Jordan, "over against Jericho," within the territory of Moab and the tribe of Reuben. It is impossible to define exactly their extent. The mountains Nebe, Pisgah, and Peor were in the Abarim, Nu 27:12; 33:47,48; De 32:49; 34:1. Ije-abarim, Nu 21:11, seems to denote the southern part of the same chain.

be-for': The translation of a great variety of Hebrew and Greek words. "Haran died before (the English Revised Version "in the presence of," literally "before the face of") his father Terah" (Ge 11:28). To be "before" God is to enjoy His favor (Ps 31:22). "The Syrians before" (Isa 9:12 the Revised Version, margin "on the east," as "behind," owing to the position of Canaan, relative to Syria, implies the west).

Nebo
Proclaimer; prophet. (1.) A Chaldean god whose worship was introduced into Assyria by Pul (Isa. 46:1; Jer. 48:1). To this idol was dedicated the great temple whose ruins are still seen at Birs Nimrud. A statue of Nebo found at Calah, where it was set up by Pul, king of Assyria, is now in the British Museum.
(2.) A mountain in the land of Moab from which Moses looked for the first and the last time on the Promised Land (Deut. 32:49; 34:1). It has been identified with Jebel Nebah, on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea, near its northern end, and about 5 miles south-west of Heshbon.

A town of Reuben on the east side of Jordan. (Numbers 32:3,38) In the remarkable prophecy adopted by Isaiah, (Isaiah 15:2) and Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 48:1,26) concerning Moab, Nebo is mentioned in the same connection as before, but in the hands of Moab. Eusebius and Jerome identify it with Nobah or Kerrath, and place it eight miles South of Heshbon, where the ruins of el-Habis appear to stand at present. (Prof. Paine identifies it with some ruins on Mount Nebo, a mile south of its summit, and Dr. Robinson seems to agree with this. --ED.) The children of Nebo returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. (Ezra 2:29; 10:43; Nehemiah 7:33) The name occurs between Bethel and Ai and Lydda…

2. A city of Reuben, Nu 32:38, taken by the Moabites, who held it in the time of Jeremiah, Isa 15:2 Jer 48:1.
3. A mountain of Moab, whence Moses had a view of the promised land, and where he died. It is a summit of the range Abarim, "over against Jericho." Seetzen, Burckhardy, etc., identify it with Mount Attarus, about ten miles north of the Arnon. Travelers do not observe any very prominent summit in the rage immediately opposite Jericho; but it has not yet fully explored, De 32:49 34:1-12.
