Ulangan 1:28

1:28 What is going to happen to us? Our brothers have drained away our courage ¹  by describing people who are more numerous ²  and taller than we are, and great cities whose defenses appear to be as high as heaven ³  itself! Moreover, they said they saw ⁴  Anakites ⁵  there.”

Ulangan 3:21

3:21 I also commanded Joshua at the same time, “You have seen everything the Lord your God did to these two kings; he ⁶  will do the same to all the kingdoms where you are going. ⁷ 

Ulangan 4:36

4:36 From heaven he spoke to you in order to teach you, and on earth he showed you his great fire from which you also heard his words. ⁸ 

Ulangan 18:16

18:16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the Lord your God: “Please do not make us hear the voice of the Lord our ⁹  God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.”

Ulangan 20:1

Laws Concerning War with Distant Enemies

20:1 When you go to war against your enemies and see chariotry ¹⁰  and troops ¹¹  who outnumber you, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.

Ulangan 34:4

34:4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ ¹²  I have let you see it, ¹³  but you will not cross over there.”

[1:28]  ¹ tn Heb “have caused our hearts to melt.”

[1:28]  ² tn Heb “greater.” Many English versions understand this to refer to physical size or strength rather than numbers (cf. “stronger,” NAB, NIV, NRSV; “bigger,” NASB).

[1:28]  ³ tn Or “as the sky.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[1:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “we have seen.”

[1:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “the sons of the Anakim.”

[1:28]  sn Anakites were giant people (Num 13:33; Deut 2:10, 21; 9:2) descended from a certain Anak whose own forefather Arba founded the city of Kiriath Arba, i.e., Hebron (Josh 21:11).

[3:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” The translation uses the pronoun (“he”) for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.

[3:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “which you are crossing over there.”

[4:36]  ⁸ tn Heb “and his words you heard from the midst of the fire.”

[18:16]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text uses the collective singular in this verse: “my God…lest I die.”

[20:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “horse and chariot.”

[20:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “people.”

[34:4]  ¹² tn Heb “seed” (so KJV, ASV).

[34:4]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text includes “with your eyes,” but this is redundant in English and is left untranslated.
