Ulangan 34:10

34:10 No prophet ever again arose in Israel like Moses, who knew the Lord face to face. ³⁵ 

[1:6]  ¹ tn Heb “lived”; “dwelled.”

[4:2]  ² tn Heb “commanding.”

[7:18]  ³ tn Heb “recalling, you must recall.” The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute before the finite verb for emphasis. Cf. KJV, ASV “shalt well remember.”

[7:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “testings” (so NAB), a reference to the plagues. See note at 4:34.

[7:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “the strong hand and outstretched arm.” See 4:34.

[7:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[7:20]  ⁷ tn The meaning of the term translated “hornets” (צִרְעָה, tsir’ah) is debated. Various suggestions are “discouragement” (HALOT 1056-57 s.v.; cf. NEB, TEV, CEV “panic”; NCV “terror”) and “leprosy” (J. H. Tigay, Deuteronomy [JPSTC], 360, n. 33; cf. NRSV “the pestilence”), as well as “hornet” (BDB 864 s.v.; cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NLT). The latter seems most suitable to the verb שָׁלַח (shalakh, “send”; cf. Exod 23:28; Josh 24:12).

[7:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “the remnant and those who hide themselves.”

[7:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “he will confuse them (with) great confusion.” The verb used here means “shake, stir up” (see Ruth 1:19; 1 Sam 4:5; 1 Kgs 1:45; Ps 55:2); the accompanying cognate noun refers to confusion, unrest, havoc, or panic (1 Sam 5:9, 11; 14:20; 2 Chr 15:5; Prov 15:16; Isa 22:5; Ezek 7:7; 22:5; Amos 3:9; Zech 14:13).

[8:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “just as a man disciplines his son.” The Hebrew text reflects the patriarchal idiom of the culture.

[8:6]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[8:6]  ¹² tn Heb “by walking in his ways.” The “ways” of the Lord refer here to his moral standards as reflected in his commandments. The verb “walk” is used frequently in the Bible (both OT and NT) for one’s moral and ethical behavior.

[8:14]  ¹³ tn The words “be sure” are not in the Hebrew text; vv. 12-14 are part of the previous sentence. For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 in the translation and the words “be sure” repeated from v. 11 to indicate the connection.

[9:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “stiff-necked.” See note on the word “stubborn” in 9:6.

[11:1]  ¹⁵ tn This collocation of technical terms for elements of the covenant text lends support to its importance and also signals a new section of paraenesis in which Moses will exhort Israel to covenant obedience. The Hebrew term מִשְׁמָרוֹת (mishmarot, “obligations”) sums up the three terms that follow – חֻקֹּת (khuqot), מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishppatim), and מִצְוֹת (mitsot).

[11:17]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “will become hot”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “will be kindled”; NAB “will flare up”; NIV, NLT “will burn.”

[11:17]  ¹⁷ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[11:17]  ¹⁸ tn Or “be destroyed”; NAB, NIV “will soon perish.”

[11:17]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 11:4.

[12:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “rest.”

[12:29]  ²¹ tn Heb “dwell in their land” (so NASB). In the Hebrew text vv. 29-30 are one long sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides it into two.

[15:21]  ²² tn Heb “any evil blemish”; NASB “any (+ other NAB, TEV) serious defect.”

[16:20]  ²³ tn Heb “justice, justice.” The repetition is emphatic; one might translate as “pure justice” or “unadulterated justice” (cf. NLT “true justice”).

[16:21]  ²⁴ tn Heb “an Asherah, any tree.”

[16:21]  sn Sacred Asherah pole. This refers to a tree (or wooden pole) dedicated to the worship of Asherah, wife/sister of El and goddess of fertility. See also Deut 7:5.

[18:2]  ²⁵ tn Heb “he” (and throughout the verse).

[18:2]  ²⁶ tn Heb “brothers,” but not referring to actual siblings. Cf. NASB “their countrymen”; NRSV “the other members of the community.”

[18:21]  ²⁷ tn Heb “in your heart.”

[18:21]  ²⁸ tn Heb “know the word which the Lord has not spoken.” The issue here is not understanding the meaning of the message, but distinguishing a genuine prophetic word from a false one.

[20:4]  ²⁹ tn Or “to save you” (so KJV, NASB, NCV); or “to deliver you.”

[20:13]  ³⁰ tn Heb “to your hands.”

[21:9]  ³¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of” (so ASV, NASB, NIV).

[21:10]  ³² tn Heb “gives him into your hands.”

[29:24]  ³³ tn Heb “this great burning of anger”; KJV “the heat of this great anger.”

[29:27]  ³⁴ tn Heb “the entire curse.”

[34:10]  ³⁵ sn See Num 12:8; Deut 18:15-18.
