[3:27]  ¹ tn Heb “lift your eyes to the west, north, south, and east and see with your eyes.” The translation omits the repetition of “your eyes” for stylistic reasons.

[4:22]  ² tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

[9:1]  ³ tn Heb “fortified to the heavens” (so NRSV); NLT “cities with walls that reach to the sky.” This is hyperbole.

[3:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and all Israel was crossing over on dry ground until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.”

[4:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “And when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.”
