Ulangan 11:28

11:28 and the curse if you pay no attention ¹  to his ²  commandments and turn from the way I am setting before ³  you today to pursue ⁴  other gods you have not known.

Ulangan 11:2

11:2 Bear in mind today that I am not speaking ⁵  to your children who have not personally experienced the judgments ⁶  of the Lord your God, which revealed ⁷  his greatness, strength, and power. ⁸ 

1 Raja-raja 2:24

2:24 Now, as certainly as the Lord lives (he who made me secure, allowed me to sit on my father David’s throne, and established a dynasty ⁹  for me as he promised), Adonijah will be executed today!”

[11:28]  ¹ tn Heb “do not listen to,” that is, do not obey.

[11:28]  ² tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:28]  ³ tn Heb “am commanding” (so NASB, NRSV).

[11:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “walk after”; NIV “by following”; NLT “by worshiping.” This is a violation of the first commandment, the most serious of the covenant violations (Deut 5:6-7).

[11:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “that not.” The words “I am speaking” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[11:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the Lord.” The collocation of the verbs “know” and “see” indicates that personal experience (knowing by seeing) is in view. The term translated “discipline” (KJV, ASV “chastisement”) may also be rendered “instruction,” but vv. 2b-6 indicate that the referent of the term is the various acts of divine judgment the Israelites had witnessed.

[11:2]  ⁷ tn The words “which revealed” have been supplied in the translation to show the logical relationship between the terms that follow and the divine judgments. In the Hebrew text the former are in apposition to the latter.

[11:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “his strong hand and his stretched-out arm.”

[2:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “house.”
