Ulangan 12:24

12:24 You must not eat it! You must pour it out on the ground like water.

Ulangan 20:2

20:2 As you move forward for battle, the priest ¹  will approach and say to the soldiers, ² 

Ulangan 32:18

32:18 You have forgotten ³  the Rock who fathered you,

and put out of mind the God who gave you birth.

[20:2]  ¹ sn The reference to the priest suggests also the presence of the ark of the covenant, the visible sign of God’s presence. The whole setting is clearly that of “holy war” or “Yahweh war,” in which God himself takes initiative as the true commander of the forces of Israel (cf. Exod 14:14-18; 15:3-10; Deut 3:22; 7:18-24; 31:6, 8).

[20:2]  ² tn Heb “and he will say to the people.” Cf. NIV, NCV, CEV “the army”; NRSV, NLT “the troops.”

[32:18]  ³ tc The Hebrew text is corrupt here; the translation follows the suggestion offered in HALOT 1477 s.v. שׁיה. Cf. NASB, NLT “You neglected”; NIV “You deserted”; NRSV “You were unmindful of.”
