τίνες; Who? The rec. has τινές with LM. See the note.

16. τίνες γὰρ�; “For who (τίνες) when they heard, embittered (Him)?” This (τίνες;) is the reading of the Peshito. It would have been absurd to use the word τινές, “some,” of 600,000 with only two exceptions, Numbers 14:38; Joshua 14:8-9.

ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες; “Nay, did not (practically) all?” (i.e. all except Caleb and Joshua). It is true that the rendering is not free from difficulty, since there seems to be no exact parallel to this use of ἀλλʼ οὐ. But it involves less harshness than the other.
