Israel’s Rebellion

32:15 But Jeshurun ⁷  became fat and kicked,

you ⁸  got fat, thick, and stuffed!

Then he deserted the God who made him,

and treated the Rock who saved him with contempt.

unless their Rock had delivered them up, ¹⁰

[2:21]  ¹ tn Heb “them”; the referent (the Rephaites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:21]  ² tn Heb “them”; the referent (the Ammonites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:29]  ³ tn Heb “your inheritance.” See note at v. 26.

[9:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “an outstretched arm.”

[32:4]  ⁵ tc The LXX reads Θεός (qeos, “God”) for the MT’s “Rock.”

[32:4]  sn The Hebrew term depicts God as a rocky summit where one may find safety and protection. Within a covenantal context it serves as a reminder to the people that their God has committed himself to their protection in return for their allegiance.

[32:4]  ⁶ tn Or “just” (KJV, NAB, NRSV, NLT) or “righteous” (NASB).

[32:15]  ⁷ tn To make the continuity of the referent clear, some English versions substitute “Jacob” here (NAB, NRSV) while others replace “Jeshurun” with “Israel” (NCV, CEV, NLT) or “the Lord’s people” (TEV).

[32:15]  sn Jeshurun is a term of affection derived from the Hebrew verb יָשַׁר (yashar, “be upright”). Here it speaks of Israel “in an ideal situation, with its ‘uprightness’ due more to God’s help than his own efforts” (M. Mulder, TDOT 6:475).

[32:15]  ⁸ tc The LXX reads the third person masculine singular (“he”) for the MT second person masculine singular (“you”), but such alterations are unnecessary in Hebrew poetic texts where subjects fluctuate frequently and without warning.

[32:30]  ⁹ tn The words “man” and “of them” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “sold them” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
