The Covenant Curses

27:14 “The Levites will call out to every Israelite ⁹  with a loud voice:

Ulangan 29:14

29:14 It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant by oath,

Ulangan 32:9

32:9 For the Lord’s allotment is his people,

Jacob is his special possession. ¹⁰ 

[2:13]  ¹ sn Wadi Zered. Now known as Wadi el-H£esa, this valley marked the boundary between Moab to the north and Edom to the south.

[2:13]  ² tn Heb “we crossed the Wadi Zered.” This has been translated as “we did so” for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.

[6:12]  ³ tn Heb “out of the house of slavery” (so NASB, NRSV).

[11:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “Watch yourselves lest your heart turns and you turn aside and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

[19:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “violent” (חָמָס, khamas). This is a witness whose motivation from the beginning is to do harm to the accused and who, therefore, resorts to calumny and deceit. See I. Swart and C. VanDam, NIDOTTE 2:177-80.

[19:16]  ⁶ tn Or “rebellion.” Rebellion against God’s law is in view (cf. NAB “of a defection from the law”).

[20:2]  ⁷ sn The reference to the priest suggests also the presence of the ark of the covenant, the visible sign of God’s presence. The whole setting is clearly that of “holy war” or “Yahweh war,” in which God himself takes initiative as the true commander of the forces of Israel (cf. Exod 14:14-18; 15:3-10; Deut 3:22; 7:18-24; 31:6, 8).

[20:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he will say to the people.” Cf. NIV, NCV, CEV “the army”; NRSV, NLT “the troops.”

[27:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “Israelite man.”

[32:9]  ¹⁰ tc Heb “the portion of his inheritance.” The LXX and Smr add “Israel” and BHS suggests the reconstruction: “The Lord’s allotment is Jacob, the portion of his inheritance is Israel” (cf. NAB). While providing good parallelism, it destroys a fine chiastic structure: “allotment” (a), “his people” (b), “Jacob (b’), and “inheritance” (a’).
