[1:44]  ¹ tn Heb “in that hill country,” repeating the end of v. 43.

[1:44]  ² tn Heb “came out to meet.”

[1:44]  ³ sn Hormah is probably Khirbet el-Meshash, 5.5 mi (9 km) west of Arad and 7.5 mi (12 km) SE of Beer Sheba. Its name is a derivative of the verb חָרָם (kharam, “to ban; to exterminate”). See Num 21:3.

[11:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.

[11:22]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”

[15:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the indentured servant introduced in v. 12) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “go out from.” The imperfect verbal form indicates the desire of the subject here.

[26:16]  ⁹ tn Or “mind and being”; cf. NCV “with your whole being”; TEV “obey them faithfully with all your heart.”

[33:21]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew term מְחֹקֵק (mÿkhoqeq; Poel participle of חָקַק, khaqaq, “to inscribe”) reflects the idea that the recorder of allotments (the “ruler”) is able to set aside for himself the largest and best. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 444-45.

[33:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “covered in” (if from the root סָפַן, safan; cf. HALOT 764-65 s.v. ספן qal).

[33:21]  ¹² tn Heb “heads” (in the sense of chieftains).
