Ulangan 19:15

19:15 A single witness may not testify ⁴  against another person for any trespass or sin that he commits. A matter may be legally established ⁵  only on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

[11:14]  ¹ tn The words “he promises” do not appear in the Hebrew text but are needed in the translation to facilitate the transition from the condition (v. 13) to the promise and make it clear that the Lord is speaking the words of vv. 14-15.

[11:14]  ² tn Heb “the rain of your land.” In this case the genitive (modifying term) indicates the recipient of the rain.

[11:14]  ³ sn The autumn and the spring rains. The “former” (יוֹרֶה, yoreh) and “latter” (מַלְקוֹשׁ, malqosh) rains come in abundance respectively in September/October and March/April. Planting of most crops takes place before the former rains fall and the harvests follow the latter rains.

[19:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “rise up” (likewise in v. 16).

[19:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “may stand.”
