Ulangan 12:10

12:10 When you do go across the Jordan River ¹  and settle in the land he ²  is granting you as an inheritance and you find relief from all the enemies who surround you, you will live in safety. ³ 

Ulangan 17:2

17:2 Suppose a man or woman is discovered among you – in one of your villages ⁴  that the Lord your God is giving you – who sins before the Lord your God ⁵  and breaks his covenant

Ulangan 29:19

29:19 When such a person ⁶  hears the words of this oath he secretly ⁷  blesses himself ⁸  and says, “I will have peace though I continue to walk with a stubborn spirit.” ⁹  This will destroy ¹⁰  the watered ground with the parched. ¹¹ 

¹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

³ tn In the Hebrew text vv. 10-11 are one long, complex sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two sentences.

⁴ tn Heb “gates.”

⁵ tn Heb “does the evil in the eyes of the Lord your God.”

⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the subject of the warning in v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Heb “in his heart.”

⁸ tn Or “invokes a blessing on himself.” A formalized word of blessing is in view, the content of which appears later in the verse.

⁹ tn Heb “heart.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “thus destroying.” For stylistic reasons the translation begins a new sentence here.

¹¹ tn Heb “the watered with the parched.” The word “ground” is implied. The exact meaning of the phrase is uncertain although it appears to be figurative. This appears to be a proverbial observation employing a figure of speech (a merism) suggesting totality. That is, the Israelite who violates the letter and even spirit of the covenant will harm not only himself but everything he touches – “the watered and the parched.” Cf. CEV “you will cause the rest of Israel to be punished along with you.”
