Ulangan 30:16

30:16 What ¹  I am commanding you today is to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to obey his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances. Then you will live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess. ² 

Ulangan 31:17

31:17 At that time ³  my anger will erupt against them ⁴  and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome ⁵  them ⁶  so that they ⁷  will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters ⁸  overcome us ⁹  because our ¹⁰  God is not among us ¹¹ ?’

Ulangan 31:21

31:21 Then when ¹²  many disasters and distresses overcome them ¹³  this song will testify against them, ¹⁴  for their ¹⁵  descendants will not forget it. ¹⁶  I know the ¹⁷  intentions they have in mind ¹⁸  today, even before I bring them ¹⁹  to the land I have promised.”

[30:16]  ¹ tc A number of LXX mss insert before this verse, “if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God,” thus translating אֲשֶׁר (’asher) as “which” and the rest as “I am commanding you today, to love,” etc., “then you will live,” etc.

[30:16]  ² tn Heb “which you are going there to possess it.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[31:17]  ³ tn Heb “on that day.” This same expression also appears later in the verse and in v. 18.

[31:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “evils.”

[31:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.
