The Results of Covenant Reaffirmation

30:1 “When you have experienced all these things, both the blessings and the curses ²⁵  I have set before you, you will reflect upon them ²⁶  in all the nations where the Lord your God has banished you.

[3:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” The translation uses the pronoun (“he”) for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.

[3:21]  ² tn Heb “which you are crossing over there.”

[3:24]  ³ tn Heb “Lord Lord.” The phrase אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה (’adonay yÿhvih) is customarily rendered by Jewish tradition as “Lord God.” Cf. NIV, TEV, NLT “Sovereign Lord.”

[3:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “your servant.” The pronoun is used in the translation to clarify that Moses is speaking of himself, since in contemporary English one does not usually refer to oneself in third person.

[3:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “your strong hand” (so NIV), a symbol of God’s activity.

[4:10]  ⁶ tn The text begins with “(the) day (in) which.” In the Hebrew text v. 10 is subordinate to v. 11, but for stylistic reasons the translation treats v. 10 as an independent clause, necessitating the omission of the subordinating temporal phrase at the beginning of the verse.

[4:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “my words.” See v. 13; in Hebrew the “ten commandments” are the “ten words.”

[4:26]  ⁹ sn I invoke heaven and earth as witnesses against you. This stock formula introduces what is known form-critically as a רִיב (riv) or controversy pattern. It is commonly used in the ancient Near Eastern world in legal contexts and in the OT as a forensic or judicial device to draw attention to Israel’s violation of the Lord’s covenant with them (see Deut 30:19; Isa 1:2; 3:13; Jer 2:9). Since court proceedings required the testimony of witnesses, the Lord here summons heaven and earth (that is, all creation) to testify to his faithfulness, Israel’s disobedience, and the threat of judgment.

[4:26]  ¹⁰ tn Or “be destroyed”; KJV “utterly perish”; NLT “will quickly disappear”; CEV “you won’t have long to live.”

[4:26]  ¹¹ tn Or “be completely” (so NCV, TEV). It is not certain here if the infinitive absolute indicates the certainty of the following action (cf. NIV) or its degree.

[5:22]  ¹² tn Heb “and he added no more” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); NLT “This was all he said at that time.”

[5:22]  ¹³ tn Heb “them”; the referent (the words spoken by the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “your sin.” This is a metonymy in which the effect (sin) stands for the cause (the metal calf).

[9:21]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “burned it with fire.”

[26:19]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “so that.” Verses 18-19 are one sentence in the Hebrew text, but the translation divides it into three sentences for stylistic reasons. The first clause in verse 19 gives a result of the preceding clause. When Israel keeps God’s law, God will bless them with fame and honor (cf. NAB “he will then raise you high in praise and renown and glory”; NLT “And if you do, he will make you greater than any other nation”).

[26:19]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “for praise and for a name and for glory.”

[26:19]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and to be.” A new sentence was started here for stylistic reasons.

[28:36]  ¹⁹ tc The LXX reads the plural “kings.”

[29:20]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the wrath of the Lord and his zeal.” The expression is a hendiadys, a figure in which the second noun becomes adjectival to the first.

[29:20]  ²¹ tn Heb “smoke,” or “smolder.”

[29:20]  ²² tn Heb “the entire oath.”

[29:20]  ²³ tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”

[29:20]  ²⁴ tn Heb “blot out his name from under the sky.”

[30:1]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the blessing and the curse.”

[30:1]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and you bring (them) back to your heart.”
