1:3 However, it was not until ¹  the first day of the eleventh month ²  of the fortieth year ³  that Moses addressed the Israelites just as ⁴  the Lord had instructed him to do.

Ulangan 1:43

1:43 I spoke to you, but you did not listen. Instead you rebelled against the Lord ⁵  and recklessly went up to the hill country.

Ulangan 4:13-14

4:13 And he revealed to you the covenant ⁶  he has commanded you to keep, the ten commandments, ⁷  writing them on two stone tablets. 4:14 Moreover, at that same time the Lord commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to keep in the land which you are about to enter and possess. ⁸ 

Ulangan 9:16

9:16 When I looked, you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God and had cast for yourselves a metal calf; ⁹  you had quickly turned aside from the way he ¹⁰  had commanded you!

11:13 Now, if you pay close attention ¹¹  to my commandments that I am giving you today and love ¹²  the Lord your God and serve him with all your mind and being, ¹³

12:14 for you may do so ¹⁷  only in the place the Lord chooses in one of your tribal areas – there you may do everything I am commanding you. ¹⁸

28:14 But you must not turn away from all the commandments I am giving ²¹  you today, to either the right or left, nor pursue other gods and worship ²²  them.

[1:3]  ¹ tn Heb “in” or “on.” Here there is a contrast between the ordinary time of eleven days (v. 2) and the actual time of forty years, so “not until” brings out that vast disparity.

[1:3]  ² sn The eleventh month is Shebat in the Hebrew calendar, January/February in the modern (Gregorian) calendar.

[1:3]  ³ sn The fortieth year would be 1406 b.c. according to the “early” date of the exodus. See E. H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, 66-75.

[1:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “according to all which.”

[1:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” See note at 1:26.

[4:13]  ⁶ sn This is the first occurrence of the word בְּרִית (bÿrit, “covenant”) in the Book of Deuteronomy but it appears commonly hereafter (4:23, 31; 5:2, 3; 7:9, 12; 8:18; 9:9, 10, 11, 15; 10:2, 4, 5, 8; 17:2; 29:1, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 21, 25; 31:9, 16, 20, 25, 26; 33:9). Etymologically, it derives from the notion of linking or yoking together. See M. Weinfeld, TDOT 2:255.

[4:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “the ten words.”

[4:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “to which you are crossing over to possess it.”

[9:16]  ⁹ tn On the phrase “metal calf,” see note on the term “metal image” in v. 12.

[9:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[11:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “if hearing, you will hear.” The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute to emphasize the verbal idea. The translation renders this emphasis with the word “close.”

[11:13]  ¹² tn Again, the Hebrew term אָהַב (’ahav) draws attention to the reciprocation of divine love as a condition or sign of covenant loyalty (cf. Deut 6:5).

[11:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “heart and soul” or “heart and being.” See note on the word “being” in Deut 6:5.

[11:22]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.

[11:22]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “commanding you to do it.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation and “to do it” has been left untranslated.

[11:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”

[12:14]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “offer burnt offerings.” The expression “do so” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[12:14]  ¹⁸ sn This injunction to worship in a single and central sanctuary – one limited and appropriate to the thrice-annual festival celebrations (see Exod 23:14-17; 34:22-24; Lev 23:4-36; Deut 16:16-17) – marks a departure from previous times when worship was carried out at local shrines (cf. Gen 8:20; 12:7; 13:18; 22:9; 26:25; 35:1, 3, 7; Exod 17:15). Apart from the corporate worship of the whole theocratic community, however, worship at local altars would still be permitted as in the past (Deut 16:21; Judg 6:24-27; 13:19-20; 1 Sam 7:17; 10:5, 13; 2 Sam 24:18-25; 1 Kgs 18:30).

[28:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

[28:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and walk in his ways” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[28:14]  ²¹ tn Heb “from all the words which I am commanding.”

[28:14]  ²² tn Heb “in order to serve.”
