Ulangan 6:18

6:18 Do whatever is proper ¹  and good before the Lord so that it may go well with you and that you may enter and occupy the good land that he ²  promised your ancestors,

Ulangan 10:15

10:15 However, only to your ancestors did he ³  show his loving favor, ⁴  and he chose you, their descendants, ⁵  from all peoples – as is apparent today.

[6:18]  ¹ tn Heb “upright.”

[6:18]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.

[10:15]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “take delight to love.” Here again the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”), juxtaposed with בָחַר (bakhar, “choose”), is a term in covenant contexts that describes the Lord’s initiative in calling the patriarchal ancestors to be the founders of a people special to him (cf. the note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37).

[10:15]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text includes “after them,” but it is redundant in English style and has not been included in the translation.
