13:13 some evil people ³  have departed from among you to entice the inhabitants of their cities, ⁴  saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods” (whom you have not known before). ⁵

[2:26]  ¹ sn Kedemoth. This is probably Aleiyan, about 8 mi (13 km) north of the Arnon and between Dibon and Mattanah.

[11:23]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[13:13]  ³ tn Heb “men, sons of Belial.” The Hebrew term בְּלִיַּעַל (bÿliyya’al) has the idea of worthlessness, without morals or scruples (HALOT 133-34 s.v.). Cf. NAB, NRSV “scoundrels”; TEV, CEV “worthless people”; NLT “worthless rabble.”

[13:13]  ⁴ tc The LXX and Tg read “your” for the MT’s “their.”

[13:13]  ⁵ tn The translation understands the relative clause as a statement by Moses, not as part of the quotation from the evildoers. See also v. 2.

[20:9]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text includes “to the people,” but this phrase has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[20:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “princes of hosts.”

[22:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “deeds of things”; NRSV “makes up charges against her”; NIV “slanders her.”

[22:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “brings against her a bad name”; NIV “gives her a bad name.”

[22:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “drew near to her.” This is another Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations.

[25:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the judge) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:3]  ¹² tn Heb “Forty blows he may strike him”; however, since the judge is to witness the punishment (v. 2) it is unlikely the judge himself administered it.

[25:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “your brothers” but not limited only to an actual sibling; cf. NAB) “your kinsman”; NRSV, NLT “your neighbor.”
