OPPOSITION, refusal — one of the rarest nouns in the Hebrew Bible, occurring in exactly two verses: Numbers 14:34, 'you will know my tenu'ah', and Job 33:10 (not yet on these pages), where Job says God 'finds tenu'ot against me; he counts me as an ENEMY to him.' The root is nu, to restrain or override — the verb this translation later renders 'overrides' when a father overrides his daughter's vow (Numbers 30:6, now on these pages), where it stands one clause from salach. ⚠ With only one comparison available the shelf scatters: KJV and Geneva 'my breach of promise', ASV 'my alienation', Douay-Rheims 'my revenge', NIV 'what it is like to have me against you'; the Spanish RV60 and the antigua both 'mi castigo', the NVI 'tenerme por enemigo'. The two modern versions that reached 'enemy' independently, in two languages, are the ones closest to the parallel line in Job. ⭐ Numbers 30's own note promised a third landing for the same root two chapters early: at Numbers 32:7, 9, the identical verb is what the ten scouts did to ‘the heart of the children of Israel’ a whole generation earlier — not a father restraining one daughter's vow, but ten men restraining a nation's resolve to enter the land at all. This translation keeps ‘override’ for both, so the second use lands on the first exactly as promised. → first discussed at Num 14:34
