[2:30]  ¹ tc The translation follows the LXX in reading the first person pronoun. The MT, followed by many English versions, has a second person masculine singular pronoun, “your.”

[2:30]  ² tn Heb “hardened his spirit” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); NIV “made his spirit stubborn.”

[2:30]  ³ tn Heb “made his heart obstinate” (so KJV, NASB); NRSV “made his heart defiant.”

[2:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “into your hand.”

[3:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

[4:1]  ⁶ tn These technical Hebrew terms (חֻקִּים [khuqqim] and מִשְׁפָּטִים [mishpatim]) occur repeatedly throughout the Book of Deuteronomy to describe the covenant stipulations to which Israel had been called to subscribe (see, in this chapter alone, vv. 1, 5, 6, 8). The word חֻקִּים derives from the verb חֹק (khoq, “to inscribe; to carve”) and מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishpatim) from שָׁפַט (shafat, “to judge”). They are virtually synonymous and are used interchangeably in Deuteronomy.

[4:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 31, 37).

[12:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “fathers.”

[12:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “you must be careful to obey in the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess all the days which you live in the land.” This adverbial statement modifies “to obey,” not “to possess,” so the order in the translation has been rearranged to make this clear.

[15:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his neighbor,” used idiomatically to refer to another person.

[15:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “his neighbor and his brother.” The words “his brother” may be a scribal gloss identifying “his neighbor” (on this idiom, see the preceding note) as a fellow Israelite (cf. v. 3). In this case the conjunction before “his brother” does not introduce a second category, but rather has the force of “that is.”

[15:4]  ¹² tc After the phrase “the Lord” many mss and versions add “your God” to complete the usual full epithet.

[15:4]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “surely.” Note however, that the use is rhetorical, for the next verse attaches a condition.

[15:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[15:4]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess.”

[15:11]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “make sure.”

[15:11]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “your brother.”

[19:8]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “fathers.”

[19:8]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “he said to give to your ancestors.” The pronoun has been used in the translation instead for stylistic reasons.

[19:14]  ²⁰ tn Heb “border.” Cf. NRSV “You must not move your neighbor’s boundary marker.”

[19:14]  ²¹ tn Heb “which they set off from the beginning.”

[19:14]  ²² tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it.” This phrase has been left untranslated to avoid redundancy.

[26:10]  ²³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 26:2.

[26:11]  ²⁴ tn Or “household” (so NASB, NIV, NLT); Heb “house” (so KJV, NRSV).

[28:8]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” Because English would not typically reintroduce the proper name following a relative pronoun (“he will bless…the Lord your God is giving”), the pronoun (“he”) has been employed here in the translation.
