Ulangan 33:6

Blessing on Reuben

33:6 May Reuben live and not die,

and may his people multiply. ¹⁷ 

[9:9]  ¹ tn Heb “in the mountain.” The demonstrative pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[17:8]  ² tn Heb “between blood and blood.”

[17:8]  ³ tn Heb “between claim and claim.”

[17:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “between blow and blow.”

[17:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “gates.”

[17:8]  ⁶ tc Several Greek recensions add “to place his name there,” thus completing the usual formula to describe the central sanctuary (cf. Deut 12:5, 11, 14, 18; 16:6). However, the context suggests that the local Levitical towns, and not the central sanctuary, are in mind.

[22:30]  ⁷ sn Beginning with 22:30, the verse numbers through 23:25 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 22:30 ET = 23:1 HT, 23:1 ET = 23:2 HT, 23:2 ET = 23:3 HT, etc., through 23:25 ET = 23:26 HT. With 24:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[22:30]  ⁸ tn Heb “take.” In context this refers to marriage, as in the older English expression “take a wife.”

[22:30]  ⁹ sn This presupposes either the death of the father or their divorce since it would be impossible for one to marry his stepmother while his father was still married to her.

[22:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “uncover his father’s skirt” (so ASV, NASB). This appears to be a circumlocution for describing the dishonor that would come to a father by having his own son share his wife’s sexuality (cf. NAB, NIV “dishonor his father’s bed”).

[28:29]  ¹¹ tn Heb “you will not cause your ways to prosper.”

[28:56]  ¹² tc The LXX adds σφόδρα (sfodra, “very”) to bring the description into line with v. 54.

[28:56]  ¹³ tn Heb “delicateness and tenderness.”

[32:12]  ¹⁴ tn The distinctive form of the suffix on this verb form indicates that the verb is an imperfect, not a preterite. As such it draws attention to God’s continuing guidance during the period in view.

[32:39]  ¹⁵ tn Verses 39-42 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:39]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “deliver from” (so NRSV, NLT).

[33:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and [not] may his men be few” (cf. KJV, NASB, NIV).
