Ulangan 2:22

2:22 This is exactly what he did for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir when he destroyed the Horites before them so that they could dispossess them and settle in their area to this very day.

Ulangan 7:7

The Basis of Israel’s Election

7:7 It is not because you were more numerous than all the other peoples that the Lord favored and chose you – for in fact you were the least numerous of all peoples.

Ulangan 7:14

7:14 You will be blessed beyond all peoples; there will be no barrenness ¹  among you or your livestock.

Ulangan 11:14

11:14 then he promises, ²  “I will send rain for your land ³  in its season, the autumn and the spring rains, ⁴  so that you may gather in your grain, new wine, and olive oil.

Ulangan 22:5

22:5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, ⁵  nor should a man dress up in women’s clothing, for anyone who does this is offensive ⁶  to the Lord your God.

Ulangan 30:12-13

30:12 It is not in heaven, as though one must say, “Who will go up to heaven to get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 30:13 And it is not across the sea, as though one must say, “Who will cross over to the other side of the sea and get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”

Ulangan 31:27

31:27 for I know about your rebellion and stubbornness. ⁷  Indeed, even while I have been living among you to this very day, you have rebelled against the Lord; you will be even more rebellious after my death! ⁸ 

Ulangan 32:27

32:27 But I fear the reaction ⁹  of their enemies,

for ¹⁰  their adversaries would misunderstand

and say, “Our power is great, ¹¹ 

and the Lord has not done all this!”’

[7:14]  ¹ sn One of the ironies about the promises to the patriarchs concerning offspring was the characteristic barrenness of the wives of the men to whom these pledges were made (cf. Gen 11:30; 25:21; 29:31). Their affliction is in each case described by the very Hebrew word used here (עֲקָרָה, ’aqarah), an affliction that will no longer prevail in Canaan.

[11:14]  ² tn The words “he promises” do not appear in the Hebrew text but are needed in the translation to facilitate the transition from the condition (v. 13) to the promise and make it clear that the Lord is speaking the words of vv. 14-15.

[11:14]  ³ tn Heb “the rain of your land.” In this case the genitive (modifying term) indicates the recipient of the rain.

[11:14]  ⁴ sn The autumn and the spring rains. The “former” (יוֹרֶה, yoreh) and “latter” (מַלְקוֹשׁ, malqosh) rains come in abundance respectively in September/October and March/April. Planting of most crops takes place before the former rains fall and the harvests follow the latter rains.

[22:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “a man’s clothing.”

[22:5]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “offense”) speaks of anything that runs counter to ritual or moral order, especially (in the OT) to divine standards. Cross-dressing in this covenant context may suggest homosexuality, fertility cult ritual, or some other forbidden practice.

[31:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “stiffness of neck” (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV). See note on the word “stubborn” in Deut 9:6.

[31:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “How much more after my death?” The Hebrew text has a sarcastic rhetorical question here; the translation seeks to bring out the force of the question.

[32:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “anger.”

[32:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “lest.”

[32:27]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Our hand is high.” Cf. NAB “Our own hand won the victory.”
