Ulangan 1:23

1:23 I thought this was a good idea, ¹  so I sent ²  twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.

Ulangan 14:22

The Offering of Tribute

14:22 You must be certain to tithe ³  all the produce of your seed that comes from the field year after year.

Ulangan 24:12

24:12 If the person is poor you may not use what he gives you as security for a covering. ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “the thing was good in my eyes.”

² tn Or “selected” (so NIV, NRSV, TEV); Heb “took.”

³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “be certain.”

⁴ tn Heb “may not lie down in his pledge.” What is in view is the use of clothing as guarantee for the repayment of loans, a matter already addressed elsewhere (Deut 23:19-20; 24:6; cf. Exod 22:25-26; Lev 25:35-37). Cf. NAB “you shall not sleep in the mantle he gives as a pledge”; NRSV “in the garment given you as the pledge.”
