Ulangan 12:22-23

12:22 Like you eat the gazelle or ibex, so you may eat these; the ritually impure and pure alike may eat them. 12:23 However, by no means eat the blood, for the blood is life itself ¹⁹  – you must not eat the life with the meat!

Ulangan 17:3

17:3 by serving other gods and worshiping them – the sun, ²⁰  moon, or any other heavenly bodies which I have not permitted you to worship. ²¹

34:12 and he displayed great power ³⁶  and awesome might in view of all Israel. ³⁷ 

[1:4]  ¹ tn Heb “when he struck [or “smote”].”

[1:4]  ² sn See Deut 2:26–3:22.

[1:4]  ³ tn Heb “who lived.”

[1:4]  ⁴ sn Heshbon is probably modern Tell Hesban, about 7.5 mi (12 km) south southwest of Amman, Jordan.

[1:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “who lived.”

[1:4]  ⁶ sn Ashtaroth is probably Tell àAshtarah, about 22 mi (35 km) due east of the Sea of Galilee.

[1:4]  ⁷ sn Edrei is probably modern Deràa, 60 mi (95 km) south of Damascus (see Num 21:33; Josh 12:4; 13:12, 31).

[1:20]  ⁸ 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).

[1:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid repetition.

[1:21]  ¹⁰ tn Or “has given you the land” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[1:35]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Not a man among these men.”

[2:34]  ¹² tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

[2:34]  ¹³ tn Heb “under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). The verb employed is חָרַם (kharam, usually in the Hiphil) and the associated noun is חֵרֶם (kherem). See J. Naudé, NIDOTTE, 2:276-77, and, for a more thorough discussion, Susan Niditch, War in the Hebrew Bible, 28-77.

[2:34]  sn Divine judgment refers to God’s designation of certain persons, places, and things as objects of his special wrath and judgment because, in his omniscience, he knows them to be impure and hopelessly unrepentant.

[4:22]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

[5:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[5:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “fathers.”

[9:2]  ¹⁷ sn Anakites. See note on this term in Deut 1:28.

[9:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “great and tall.” Many English versions understand this to refer to physical size or strength rather than numbers (cf. “strong,” NIV, NCV, NRSV, NLT).

[12:23]  ¹⁹ sn The blood is life itself. This is a figure of speech (metonymy) in which the cause or means (the blood) stands for the result or effect (life). That is, life depends upon the existence and circulation of blood, a truth known empirically but not scientifically tested and proved until the 17th century a.d. (cf. Lev 17:11).

[17:3]  ²⁰ tc The MT reads “and to the sun,” thus including the sun, the moon, and other heavenly spheres among the gods. However, Theodotion and Lucian read “or to the sun,” suggesting perhaps that the sun and the other heavenly bodies are not in the category of actual deities.

[17:3]  ²¹ tn Heb “which I have not commanded you.” The words “to worship” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[19:3]  ²² tn Heb “border.”

[22:14]  ²³ tn Heb “deeds of things”; NRSV “makes up charges against her”; NIV “slanders her.”

[22:14]  ²⁴ tn Heb “brings against her a bad name”; NIV “gives her a bad name.”

[22:14]  ²⁵ tn Heb “drew near to her.” This is another Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations.

[25:2]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and it will be.”

[25:2]  ²⁷ tn Heb “if the evil one is a son of smiting.”

[25:2]  ²⁸ tn Heb “according to his wickedness, by number.”

[25:3]  ²⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the judge) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:3]  ³⁰ tn Heb “Forty blows he may strike him”; however, since the judge is to witness the punishment (v. 2) it is unlikely the judge himself administered it.

[25:3]  ³¹ tn Heb “your brothers” but not limited only to an actual sibling; cf. NAB) “your kinsman”; NRSV, NLT “your neighbor.”

[25:15]  ³² tn Or “just”; Heb “righteous.”

[26:7]  ³³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 26:2.

[27:4]  ³⁴ 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).

[31:11]  ³⁵ tn Heb “before all Israel.”

[34:12]  ³⁶ tn Heb “strong hand.”

[34:12]  ³⁷ tn The Hebrew text of v. 12 reads literally, “with respect to all the strong hand and with respect to all the awesome greatness which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.”
