Ulangan 9:16

9:16 When I looked, you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God and had cast for yourselves a metal calf; ²  you had quickly turned aside from the way he ³  had commanded you!

10:15 However, only to your ancestors did he ⁴  show his loving favor, ⁵  and he chose you, their descendants, ⁶  from all peoples – as is apparent today.

[3:28]  ¹ tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

[9:16]  ² tn On the phrase “metal calf,” see note on the term “metal image” in v. 12.

[9:16]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[10:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “take delight to love.” Here again the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”), juxtaposed with בָחַר (bakhar, “choose”), is a term in covenant contexts that describes the Lord’s initiative in calling the patriarchal ancestors to be the founders of a people special to him (cf. the note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37).

[10:15]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text includes “after them,” but it is redundant in English style and has not been included in the translation.

[11:30]  ⁷ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:30]  ⁸ sn Gilgal. From a Hebrew verb root גָלַל (galal, “to roll”) this place name means “circle” or “rolling,” a name given because God had “rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you” (Josh 5:9). It is perhaps to be identified with Khirbet el-Metjir, 1.2 mi (2 km) northeast of OT Jericho.

[11:30]  ⁹ tc The MT plural “oaks” (אֵלוֹנֵי, ’eloney) should probably be altered (with many Greek texts) to the singular “oak” (אֵלוֹן, ’elon; cf. NRSV) in line with the only other occurrence of the phrase (Gen 12:6). The Syriac, Tg. Ps.-J. read mmrá, confusing this place with the “oaks of Mamre” near Hebron (Gen 13:18). Smr also appears to confuse “Moreh” with “Mamre” (reading mwr’, a combined form), adding the clarification mwl shkm (“near Shechem”) apparently to distinguish it from Mamre near Hebron.

[16:8]  ¹⁰ tn The words “on that day” are not in the Hebrew text; they are supplied in the translation for clarification (cf. TEV, NLT).

[16:10]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew phrase חַג שָׁבֻעוֹת (khag shavu’ot) is otherwise known in the OT (Exod 23:16) as קָצִיר (qatsir, “harvest”) and in the NT as πεντηχοστή (penthcosth, “Pentecost”).

[16:10]  ¹² tn Heb “the sufficiency of the offering of your hand.”

[16:10]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[22:28]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “lies with.”

[32:22]  ¹⁵ tn Or “to the lowest depths of the earth”; cf. NAB “to the depths of the nether world”; NIV “to the realm of death below”; NLT “to the depths of the grave.”

[32:22]  sn Sheol refers here not to hell and hell-fire – a much later concept – but to the innermost parts of the earth, as low down as one could get. The parallel with “the foundations of the mountains” makes this clear (cf. Pss 9:17; 16:10; 139:8; Isa 14:9, 15; Amos 9:2).

[32:27]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “anger.”

[32:27]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “lest.”

[32:27]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Our hand is high.” Cf. NAB “Our own hand won the victory.”

[34:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “to,” “with respect to.” In the Hebrew text vv. 10-12 are one long sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two, using the verb “he did” at the beginning of v. 11 and “he displayed” at the beginning of v. 12.
