[1:20]  ¹ tn The Hebrew participle has an imminent future sense here, although many English versions treat it as a present tense (“is giving us,” NAB, NIV, NRSV) or a predictive future (“will give us,” NCV).

[1:23]  ² tn Heb “the thing was good in my eyes.”

[1:23]  ³ tn Or “selected” (so NIV, NRSV, TEV); Heb “took.”

[3:10]  ⁴ sn Salecah. Today this is known as Salkhad, in Jordan, about 31 mi (50 km) east of the Jordan River in the Hauran Desert.

[3:10]  ⁵ sn Edrei. See note on this term in 3:1.

[5:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[5:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers.”

[5:10]  ⁸ tn This theologically rich term (חֶסֶד, khesed) describes God’s loyalty to those who keep covenant with him. Sometimes it is used synonymously with בְּרִית (bÿrit, “covenant”; Deut 7:9), and sometimes interchangeably with it (Deut 7:12). See H.-J. Zobel, TDOT 5:44-64.

[5:10]  ⁹ tc By a slight emendation (לַאֲלּוּפִים [la’allufim] for לַאֲלָפִים [la’alafim]) “clans” could be read in place of the MT reading “thousands.” However, no ms or versional evidence exists to support this emendation.

[5:10]  tn Another option is to understand this as referring to “thousands (of generations) of those who love me” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). See Deut 7:9.

[5:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “love.” See note on the word “reject” in v. 9.

[6:25]  ¹¹ tn The term “commandment” (מִצְוָה, mitsvah), here in the singular, refers to the entire body of covenant stipulations.

[6:25]  ¹² tn Heb “as he has commanded us” (so NIV, NRSV).

[7:20]  ¹³ tn The meaning of the term translated “hornets” (צִרְעָה, tsir’ah) is debated. Various suggestions are “discouragement” (HALOT 1056-57 s.v.; cf. NEB, TEV, CEV “panic”; NCV “terror”) and “leprosy” (J. H. Tigay, Deuteronomy [JPSTC], 360, n. 33; cf. NRSV “the pestilence”), as well as “hornet” (BDB 864 s.v.; cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NLT). The latter seems most suitable to the verb שָׁלַח (shalakh, “send”; cf. Exod 23:28; Josh 24:12).

[7:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the remnant and those who hide themselves.”

[8:14]  ¹⁵ tn The words “be sure” are not in the Hebrew text; vv. 12-14 are part of the previous sentence. For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 in the translation and the words “be sure” repeated from v. 11 to indicate the connection.

[11:11]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “which you are crossing over there to possess it.”

[11:11]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “rain of heaven.”

[14:6]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew text includes “among the animals.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[14:22]  ¹⁹ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “be certain.”

[19:3]  ²⁰ tn Heb “border.”

[23:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “gates.”

[24:13]  ²² tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “by all means.”

[24:13]  ²³ tn Or “righteous” (so NIV, NLT).

[24:21]  ²⁴ tn Heb “glean after you.”

[26:7]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 26:2.

[27:4]  ²⁶ tc Smr reads “Mount Gerizim” for the MT reading “Mount Ebal” to justify the location of the Samaritan temple there in the postexilic period. This reading is patently self-serving and does not reflect the original. In the NT when the Samaritan woman of Sychar referred to “this mountain” as the place of worship for her community she obviously had Gerizim in mind (cf. John 4:20).

[30:11]  ²⁷ tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you.”

[30:14]  ²⁸ tn Heb “heart.”
