Ulangan 8:18

8:18 You must remember the Lord your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, ¹  even as he has to this day.

Ulangan 31:16

31:16 Then the Lord said to Moses, “You are about to die, ²  and then these people will begin to prostitute themselves with the foreign gods of the land into which they ³  are going. They ⁴  will reject ⁵  me and break my covenant that I have made with them. ⁶ 

Ulangan 34:4

34:4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ ⁷  I have let you see it, ⁸  but you will not cross over there.”

[8:18]  ¹ tc Smr and Lucian add “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” the standard way of rendering this almost stereotypical formula (cf. Deut 1:8; 6:10; 9:5, 27; 29:13; 30:20; 34:4). The MT’s harder reading presumptively argues for its originality, however.

[31:16]  ² tn Heb “lie down with your fathers” (so NASB); NRSV “ancestors.”

[31:16]  ³ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style. The third person singular also occurs in the Hebrew text twice more in this verse, three times in v. 17, once in v. 18, five times in v. 20, and four times in v. 21. Each time it is translated as third person plural for stylistic reasons.

[31:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:16]  ⁵ tn Or “abandon” (TEV, NLT).

[31:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[34:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “seed” (so KJV, ASV).

[34:4]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew text includes “with your eyes,” but this is redundant in English and is left untranslated.
