Ulangan 5:14

5:14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath ¹  of the Lord your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, ²  so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.

Ulangan 12:28

12:28 Pay careful attention to all these things I am commanding you so that it may always go well with you and your children after you when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.

Ulangan 12:31

12:31 You must not worship the Lord your God the way they do! ³  For everything that is abhorrent ⁴  to him, ⁵  everything he hates, they have done when worshiping their gods. They even burn up their sons and daughters before their gods!

Ulangan 14:29

14:29 Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work you do.

Ulangan 15:18

15:18 You should not consider it difficult to let him go free, for he will have served you for six years, twice ⁶  the time of a hired worker; the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

Ulangan 17:11

17:11 You must do what you are instructed, and the verdict they pronounce to you, without fail. Do not deviate right or left from what they tell you.

Ulangan 22:26

22:26 You must not do anything to the young woman – she has done nothing deserving of death. This case is the same as when someone attacks another person ⁷  and murders him,

Ulangan 28:20

Curses by Disease and Drought

28:20 “The Lord will send on you a curse, confusing you and opposing you ⁸  in everything you undertake ⁹  until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the evil of your deeds, in that you have forsaken me. ¹⁰ 

[5:14]  ¹ tn There is some degree of paronomasia (wordplay) here: “the seventh (הַשְּׁבִיעִי, hashÿvi’i) day is the Sabbath (שַׁבָּת, shabbat).” Otherwise, the words have nothing in common, since “Sabbath” is derived from the verb שָׁבַת (shavat, “to cease”).

[5:14]  ² tn Heb “in your gates”; NRSV, CEV “in your towns”; TEV “in your country.”

[12:31]  ³ tn Heb “you must not do thus to/for the Lord your God.”

[12:31]  ⁴ tn See note on this term at Deut 7:25.

[12:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “every abomination of the Lord.” See note on the word “his” in v. 27.

[15:18]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term מִשְׁנֶה (mishneh, “twice”) could mean “equivalent to” (cf. NRSV) or, more likely, “double” (cf. NAB, NIV, NLT). The idea is that a hired worker would put in only so many hours per day whereas a bondslave was available around the clock.

[22:26]  ⁷ tn Heb “his neighbor.”

[28:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “the curse, the confusion, and the rebuke” (NASB and NIV similar); NRSV “disaster, panic, and frustration.”

[28:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “in all the stretching out of your hand.”

[28:20]  ¹⁰ 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.”
