[6:3]  ¹ tn Heb “may multiply greatly” (so NASB, NRSV); the words “in number” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[6:3]  ² tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 10, 18, 23).

[7:26]  ³ tn Heb “come under the ban” (so NASB); NRSV “be set apart for destruction.” The same phrase occurs again at the end of this verse.

[7:26]  sn The Hebrew word translated an object of divine wrath (חֵרֶם, kherem) refers to persons or things placed under God’s judgment, usually to the extent of their complete destruction. See note on the phrase “divine judgment” in Deut 2:34.

[7:26]  ⁴ tn Or “like it is.”

[7:26]  ⁵ tn This Hebrew verb (שָׁקַץ, shaqats) is essentially synonymous with the next verb (תָעַב, ta’av; cf. תּוֹעֵבָה, to’evah; see note on the word “abhorrent” in v. 25), though its field of meaning is more limited to cultic abomination (cf. Lev 11:11, 13; Ps 22:25).

[7:26]  ⁶ tn Heb “detesting you must detest and abhorring you must abhor.” Both verbs are preceded by a cognate infinitive absolute indicating emphasis.

[8:17]  ⁷ tn For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 17 in the translation and the words “be careful” supplied to indicate the connection.

[8:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “my strength and the might of my hand.”

[9:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style to avoid redundancy.

[10:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “your praise.” The pronoun is subjective and the noun “praise” is used here metonymically for the object of their praise (the Lord).

[14:22]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “be certain.”

[16:20]  ¹² tn Heb “justice, justice.” The repetition is emphatic; one might translate as “pure justice” or “unadulterated justice” (cf. NLT “true justice”).

[18:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “in your heart.”

[18:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “know the word which the Lord has not spoken.” The issue here is not understanding the meaning of the message, but distinguishing a genuine prophetic word from a false one.

[23:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God changed.” The phrase “the Lord your God” has not been included in the translation here for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy. Moreover, use of the pronoun “he” could create confusion regarding the referent (the Lord or Balaam).

[23:5]  ¹⁶ tn The verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”) here and commonly elsewhere in the Book of Deuteronomy speaks of God’s elective grace toward Israel. See note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37.

[23:15]  ¹⁷ tn The Hebrew text includes “from his master,” but this would be redundant in English style.

[28:12]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “all the work of your hands.”

[28:15]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “do not hear the voice of.”

[28:15]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and overtake you” (so NIV, NRSV); NAB, NLT “and overwhelm you.”

[30:9]  ²¹ tc The MT reads “hand” (singular). Most versions read the plural.

[30:9]  ²² tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV); NRSV “of your body.”

[30:9]  ²³ tn Heb “return and.” The Hebrew verb is used idiomatically here to indicate the repetition of the following action.

[30:9]  ²⁴ tn The Hebrew text includes “for good.”
