Ulangan 1:44-46

1:44 The Amorite inhabitants of that area ¹  confronted ²  you and chased you like a swarm of bees, striking you down from Seir as far as Hormah. ³  1:45 Then you came back and wept before the Lord, but he ⁴  paid no attention to you whatsoever. ⁵  1:46 Therefore, you remained at Kadesh for a long time – indeed, for the full time. ⁶ 

[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.

[1:45]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“he”) has been employed in the translation here for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.

[1:45]  ⁵ tn Heb “did not hear your voice and did not turn an ear to you.”

[1:46]  ⁶ tn Heb “like the days which you lived.” This refers to the rest of the forty-year period in the desert before Israel arrived in Moab.
