[1:11]  ¹ tn Heb “may he bless you.”

[4:12]  ² tn The words “was heard” are supplied in the translation to avoid the impression that the voice was seen.

[4:13]  ³ sn This is the first occurrence of the word בְּרִית (bÿrit, “covenant”) in the Book of Deuteronomy but it appears commonly hereafter (4:23, 31; 5:2, 3; 7:9, 12; 8:18; 9:9, 10, 11, 15; 10:2, 4, 5, 8; 17:2; 29:1, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 21, 25; 31:9, 16, 20, 25, 26; 33:9). Etymologically, it derives from the notion of linking or yoking together. See M. Weinfeld, TDOT 2:255.

[4:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “the ten words.”

[4:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “he will not drop you,” i.e., “will not abandon you” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[4:31]  ⁷ tn Or “will not.” The translation understands the imperfect verbal form to have an added nuance of capability here.

[8:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “in order to humble you and in order to test you.” See 8:2.

[11:29]  ⁹ sn Mount Gerizim…Mount Ebal. These two mountains are near the ancient site of Shechem and the modern city of Nablus. The valley between them is like a great amphitheater with the mountain slopes as seating sections. The place was sacred because it was there that Abraham pitched his camp and built his first altar after coming to Canaan (Gen 12:6). Jacob also settled at Shechem for a time and dug a well from which Jesus once requested a drink of water (Gen 33:18-20; John 4:5-7). When Joshua and the Israelites finally brought Canaan under control they assembled at Shechem as Moses commanded and undertook a ritual of covenant reaffirmation (Josh 8:30-35; 24:1, 25). Half the tribes stood on Mt. Gerizim and half on Mt. Ebal and in antiphonal chorus pledged their loyalty to the Lord before Joshua and the Levites who stood in the valley below (Josh 8:33; cf. Deut 27:11-13).

[12:26]  ¹⁰ tc Again, to complete a commonly attested wording the LXX adds after “choose” the phrase “to place his name there.” This shows insensitivity to deliberate departures from literary stereotypes. The MT reading is to be preferred.

[14:24]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 14:2.

[14:24]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text includes “way is so far from you that you are unable to carry it because the.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because they are redundant.

[15:14]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “generously.”

[16:10]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew phrase חַג שָׁבֻעוֹת (khag shavu’ot) is otherwise known in the OT (Exod 23:16) as קָצִיר (qatsir, “harvest”) and in the NT as πεντηχοστή (penthcosth, “Pentecost”).

[16:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the sufficiency of the offering of your hand.”

[16:10]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[18:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “according to all the desire of his soul.”

[18:6]  ¹⁸ tn Or “sojourning.” The verb used here refers to living temporarily in a place, not settling down.

[19:1]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[19:15]  ²⁰ tn Heb “rise up” (likewise in v. 16).

[19:15]  ²¹ tn Heb “may stand.”

[20:18]  ²² tn Heb “to do according to all their abominations which they do for their gods.”

[22:4]  ²³ tn Heb “you must not see.” See note at 22:1.

[22:4]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and (must not) hide yourself from them.”

[22:4]  ²⁵ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “be sure.”

[23:13]  ²⁷ tn Heb “sit.” This expression is euphemistic.

[23:13]  ²⁸ tn Heb “with it”; the referent (the spade mentioned at the beginning of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[23:13]  ²⁹ tn Heb “what comes from you,” a euphemism.

[24:3]  ³⁰ tn Heb “hates.” See note on the word “other” in Deut 21:15.

[24:3]  ³¹ tn Heb “writes her a document of divorce.”

[28:11]  ³² tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); CEV “will give you a lot of children.”

[28:11]  ³⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 36, 64).

[28:57]  ³⁹ tn Heb includes “in her need for everything.”

[32:17]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “your fathers.”

[32:36]  ⁴¹ tn The translation understands the verb in the sense of “be grieved, relent” (cf. HALOT 689 s.v. נחם hitp 2); cf. KJV, ASV “repent himself”; NLT “will change his mind.” Another option is to translate “will show compassion to” (see BDB 637 s.v. נחם); cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV.
