Ulangan 15:14

28:47 “Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have, 28:48 instead in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty ²⁹  you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. They ³⁰  will place an iron yoke on your neck until they have destroyed you. 28:49 The Lord will raise up a distant nation against you, one from the other side of the earth ³¹  as the eagle flies, ³²  a nation whose language you will not understand,

[1:43]  ¹ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” See note at 1:26.

[4:16]  ² tn The words “I say this” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text v. 16 is subordinated to “Be careful” in v. 15, but this makes for an unduly long sentence in English.

[4:30]  ³ sn The phrase is not used here in a technical sense for the eschaton, but rather refers to a future time when Israel will be punished for its sin and experience exile. See Deut 31:29.

[4:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “hear his voice.” The expression is an idiom meaning “obey,” occurring in Deut 8:20; 9:23; 13:18; 21:18, 20; 26:14, 17; 27:10; 28:1-2, 15, 45, 62; 30:2, 8, 10, 20.

[6:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “commandment.” The word מִצְוָה (mitsvah) again is in the singular, serving as a comprehensive term for the whole stipulation section of the book. See note on the word “commandments” in 5:31.

[6:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “where you are going over to possess it” (so NASB); NRSV “that you are about to cross into and occupy.”

[9:10]  ⁷ sn The very finger of God. This is a double figure of speech (1) in which God is ascribed human features (anthropomorphism) and (2) in which a part stands for the whole (synecdoche). That is, God, as Spirit, has no literal finger nor, if he had, would he write with his finger. Rather, the sense is that God himself – not Moses in any way – was responsible for the composition of the Ten Commandments (cf. Exod 31:18; 32:16; 34:1).

[9:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “according to all the words.”

[9:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord” (likewise at the beginning of vv. 12, 13). See note on “he” in 9:3.

[13:9]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail” (cf. NIV “you must certainly put him to death”).

[13:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to put him to death,” but this is misleading in English for such an action would leave nothing for the others to do.

[15:4]  ¹² tc After the phrase “the Lord” many mss and versions add “your God” to complete the usual full epithet.

[15:4]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “surely.” Note however, that the use is rhetorical, for the next verse attaches a condition.

[15:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[15:4]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess.”

[15:14]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “generously.”

[16:2]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

[16:10]  ¹⁹ 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]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the sufficiency of the offering of your hand.”

[16:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[18:3]  ²² tn Heb “judgment”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “the priest’s due.”

[19:10]  ²³ tn Heb “innocent blood must not be shed.” The Hebrew phrase דָּם נָקִי (dam naqiy) means the blood of a person to whom no culpability or responsibility adheres because what he did was without malice aforethought (HALOT 224 s.v דָּם 4.b).

[19:10]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and blood will be upon you” (cf. KJV, ASV); NRSV “thereby bringing bloodguilt upon you.”

[21:13]  ²⁵ tn Heb “she is to…remove the clothing of her captivity” (cf. NASB); NRSV “discard her captive’s garb.”

[21:13]  ²⁶ tn Heb “sit”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “remain.”

[21:13]  ²⁷ tn Heb “go unto,” a common Hebrew euphemism for sexual relations.

[28:45]  ²⁸ tn Heb “commanded”; NAB, NIV, TEV “he gave you.”

[28:48]  ²⁹ tn Heb “lack of everything.”

[28:48]  ³⁰ tn Heb “he” (also later in this verse). The pronoun is a collective singular referring to the enemies (cf. CEV, NLT). Many translations understand the singular pronoun to refer to the Lord (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, TEV).

[28:49]  ³¹ tn Heb “from the end of the earth.”

[28:49]  ³² tn Some translations understand this to mean “like an eagle swoops down” (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT), comparing the swift attack of an eagle to the attack of the Israelites’ enemies.

[28:55]  ³³ tn Heb “besiege,” redundant with the noun “siege.”

[28:57]  ³⁴ tn Heb includes “that which comes out from between her feet.”

[28:57]  ³⁵ tn Heb “her sons that she will bear.”

[28:57]  ³⁶ tn Heb includes “in her need for everything.”

[28:58]  ³⁷ tn Heb “If you are not careful to do.”

[29:1]  ³⁸ sn Beginning with 29:1, the verse numbers through 29:29 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 29:1 ET = 28:69 HT, 29:2 ET = 29:1 HT, 29:3 ET = 29:2 HT, etc., through 29:29 ET = 29:28 HT. With 30:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[29:1]  ³⁹ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (which some English versions substitute here for clarity, cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

[29:21]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “set him apart.”

[29:21]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “for evil”; NAB “for doom”; NASB “for adversity”; NIV “for disaster”; NRSV “for calamity.”

[32:35]  ⁴² tn Heb “prepared things,” “impending things.” See BDB 800 s.v. עָתִיד.
