[1:15]  ¹ tn Or “selected”; Heb “took.”

[2:36]  ² sn Aroer. Now known as àAraáir on the northern edge of the Arnon river, Aroer marked the southern limit of Moab and, later, of the allotment of the tribe of Reuben (Josh 13:9, 16).

[2:36]  ³ tn Heb “the city in the wadi.” This enigmatic reference may refer to Ar or, more likely, to Aroer itself. Epexegetically the text might read, “From Aroer…, that is, the city in the wadi.” See D. L. Christensen, Deuteronomy 1–11 (WBC), 49.

[4:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “watch yourself and watch your soul carefully.”

[4:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:21]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text includes “(as) an inheritance,” or “(as) a possession.”

[16:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[17:20]  ⁸ tc Heb “upon his kingship.” Smr supplies כִּסֵא (kise’, “throne”) so as to read “upon the throne of his kingship.” This overliteralizes what is a clearly understood figure of speech.

[19:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “fathers.”

[19:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he said to give to your ancestors.” The pronoun has been used in the translation instead for stylistic reasons.

[23:24]  ¹¹ tn Heb “grapes according to your appetite, your fullness.”

[23:24]  ¹² tn Heb “in your container”; NAB, NIV “your basket.”

[24:1]  ¹³ tn Heb “nakedness of a thing.” The Hebrew phrase עֶרְוַת דָּבָר (’ervat davar) refers here to some gross sexual impropriety (see note on “indecent” in Deut 23:14). Though the term usually has to do only with indecent exposure of the genitals, it can also include such behavior as adultery (cf. Lev 18:6-18; 20:11, 17, 20-21; Ezek 22:10; 23:29; Hos 2:10).

[25:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “a man and his brother.”

[25:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “shameful parts.” Besides the inherent indelicacy of what she has done, the woman has also threatened the progenitive capacity of the injured man. The level of specificity given this term in modern translations varies: “private parts” (NAB, NIV, CEV); “genitals” (NASB, NRSV, TEV); “sex organs” (NCV); “testicles” (NLT).

[28:15]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “do not hear the voice of.”

[28:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and overtake you” (so NIV, NRSV); NAB, NLT “and overwhelm you.”

[30:9]  ¹⁸ tc The MT reads “hand” (singular). Most versions read the plural.

[30:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV); NRSV “of your body.”

[30:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “return and.” The Hebrew verb is used idiomatically here to indicate the repetition of the following action.

[30:9]  ²¹ tn The Hebrew text includes “for good.”

[31:14]  ²² tc The LXX reads “by the door of the tent” in line with v. 10 but also, perhaps, as a reflection of its tendency to avoid over-familiarity with Yahweh and his transcendence.

[31:14]  ²³ tn Heb “tent of assembly” (מוֹעֵד אֹהֶל, ’ohel mo’ed); this is not always the same as the tabernacle, which is usually called מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, “dwelling-place”), a reference to its being invested with God’s presence. The “tent of meeting” was erected earlier than the tabernacle and was the place where Yahweh occasionally appeared, especially to Moses (cf. Exod 18:7-16; 33:7-11; Num 11:16, 24, 26; 12:4).

[31:14]  ²⁴ tn Heb “I will command him.”

[33:9]  ²⁵ sn This statement no doubt alludes to the Levites’ destruction of their own fellow tribesmen following the golden calf incident (Exod 32:25-29).
