[1:8]  ¹ tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

[1:8]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.

[1:8]  ³ tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.

[1:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).

[1:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “their seed after them.”

[10:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “before” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, NRSV “at the head of.”

[10:11]  ⁸ tn After the imperative these subordinated jussive forms (with prefixed vav) indicate purpose or result.

[10:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 15, 22).

[31:13]  ¹⁰ tn The phrase “this law” is not in the Hebrew text, but English style requires an object for the verb here. Other translations also supply the object which is otherwise implicit (cf. NIV “who do not know this law”; TEV “who have never heard the Law of the Lord your God”).
