Ulangan 1:8

¹ tn Heb “By myself I swear.”

² tn Heb “the oracle of the Lord.” The phrase refers to a formal oracle or decree from the Lord.

³ tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.

⁵ tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.

⁶ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).

⁷ tn Heb “their seed after them.”
