Ulangan 1:39

1:39 Also, your infants, who you thought would die on the way, ¹  and your children, who as yet do not know good from bad, ²  will go there; I will give them the land and they will possess it.

Ulangan 3:12

Distribution of the Transjordanian Allotments

3:12 This is the land we brought under our control at that time: The territory extending from Aroer ³  by the Wadi Arnon and half the Gilead hill country with its cities I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites. ⁴ 

Ulangan 13:5

13:5 As for that prophet or dreamer, ⁵  he must be executed because he encouraged rebellion against the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, redeeming you from that place of slavery, and because he has tried to entice you from the way the Lord your God has commanded you to go. In this way you must purge out evil from within. ⁶ 

Ulangan 17:12

17:12 The person who pays no attention ⁷  to the priest currently serving the Lord your God there, or to the verdict – that person must die, so that you may purge evil from Israel.

[1:39]  ¹ tn Heb “would be a prey.”

[1:39]  ² sn Do not know good from bad. This is a figure of speech called a merism (suggesting a whole by referring to its extreme opposites). Other examples are the tree of “the knowledge of good and evil” (Gen 2:9), the boy who knows enough “to reject the wrong and choose the right” (Isa 7:16; 8:4), and those who “cannot tell their right hand from their left” (Jonah 4:11). A young child is characterized by lack of knowledge.

[3:12]  ³ tn The words “the territory extending” are not in the Hebrew text; they are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[3:12]  sn Aroer. See note on this term in Deut 2:36.

[3:12]  ⁴ sn Reubenites and Gadites. By the time of Moses’ address the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had already been granted permission to settle in the Transjordan, provided they helped the other tribes subdue the occupants of Canaan (cf. Num 32:28-42).

[13:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “or dreamer of dreams.” See note on this expression in v. 1.

[13:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “your midst” (so NAB, NRSV). The severity of the judgment here (i.e., capital punishment) is because of the severity of the sin, namely, high treason against the Great King. Idolatry is a violation of the first two commandments (Deut 5:6-10) as well as the spirit and intent of the Shema (Deut 6:4-5).

[17:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “who acts presumptuously not to listen” (cf. NASB).
