Ulangan 29:1

Narrative Interlude

29:1 (28:69) ⁴¹  These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb. ⁴² 

Ulangan 29:21

29:21 The Lord will single him out ⁴³  for judgment ⁴⁴  from all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant written in this scroll of the law.

[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.

[6:1]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “where you are going over to possess it” (so NASB); NRSV “that you are about to cross into and occupy.”

[8:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “if forgetting, you forget.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis; the translation indicates this with the words “at all” (cf. KJV).

[9:10]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Heb “according to all the words.”

[9:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “the Lord” (likewise at the beginning of vv. 12, 13). See note on “he” in 9:3.

[15:4]  ⁹ tc After the phrase “the Lord” many mss and versions add “your God” to complete the usual full epithet.

[15:4]  ¹⁰ 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]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[15:4]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess.”

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

[16:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

[16:10]  ¹⁶ 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]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the sufficiency of the offering of your hand.”

[16:10]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[17:7]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the hand of the witnesses.” This means the two or three witnesses are to throw the first stones (cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

[17:7]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the hand of all the people.”

[18:3]  ²¹ tn Heb “judgment”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “the priest’s due.”

[21:13]  ²² tn Heb “she is to…remove the clothing of her captivity” (cf. NASB); NRSV “discard her captive’s garb.”

[21:13]  ²³ tn Heb “sit”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “remain.”

[21:13]  ²⁴ tn Heb “go unto,” a common Hebrew euphemism for sexual relations.

[23:10]  ²⁵ tn Heb “nocturnal happening.” The Hebrew term קָרֶה (qareh) merely means “to happen” so the phrase here is euphemistic (a “night happening”) for some kind of bodily emission such as excrement or semen. Such otherwise normal physical functions rendered one ritually unclean whether accidental or not. See Lev 15:16-18; 22:4.

[23:21]  ²⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[23:21]  ²⁷ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which is reflected in the translation by “surely.”

[23:21]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and it will be a sin to you”; NIV, NCV, NLT “be guilty of sin.”

[27:2]  ²⁹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[27:2]  ³⁰ tn Heb “plaster” (so KJV, ASV; likewise in v. 4). In the translation “cover” has been used for stylistic reasons.

[28:20]  ³¹ tn Heb “the curse, the confusion, and the rebuke” (NASB and NIV similar); NRSV “disaster, panic, and frustration.”

[28:20]  ³² tn Heb “in all the stretching out of your hand.”

[28:20]  ³³ tc For the MT first person common singular suffix (“me”), the LXX reads either “Lord” (Lucian) or third person masculine singular suffix (“him”; various codices). The MT’s more difficult reading probably represents the original text.

[28:20]  tn Heb “the evil of your doings wherein you have forsaken me”; CEV “all because you rejected the Lord.”

[28:48]  ³⁴ tn Heb “lack of everything.”

[28:48]  ³⁵ 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).

[28:55]  ³⁶ tn Heb “besiege,” redundant with the noun “siege.”

[28:57]  ³⁷ tn Heb includes “that which comes out from between her feet.”

[28:57]  ³⁸ tn Heb “her sons that she will bear.”

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

[28:58]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “If you are not careful to do.”

[29:1]  ⁴¹ 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]  ⁴² sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (which some English versions substitute here for clarity, cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

[29:21]  ⁴³ tn Heb “set him apart.”

[29:21]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “for evil”; NAB “for doom”; NASB “for adversity”; NIV “for disaster”; NRSV “for calamity.”
