31:21 Then when ⁷  many disasters and distresses overcome them ⁸  this song will testify against them, ⁹  for their ¹⁰  descendants will not forget it. ¹¹  I know the ¹²  intentions they have in mind ¹³  today, even before I bring them ¹⁴  to the land I have promised.”

Ulangan 25:4

25:4 You must not muzzle your ²⁰  ox when it is treading grain.

[30:14]  ¹ tn Heb “heart.”

[11:6]  ² sn Dathan and Abiram. These two (along with others) had challenged Moses’ leadership in the desert with the result that the earth beneath them opened up and they and their families disappeared (Num 16:1-3, 31-35).

[11:6]  ³ tn Or “the descendant of Reuben”; Heb “son of Reuben.”

[11:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the midst of all Israel” (so KJV, ASV, NRSV); NASB “among all Israel.” In the Hebrew text these words appear at the end of the verse, but they are logically connected with the verbs. To make this clear the translation places the phrase after the first verb.

[11:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “their houses,” referring to all who lived in their household. Cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “households.”

[11:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “and all the substance which was at their feet.”

[31:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “Then it will come to pass that.”

[31:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “it will not be forgotten from the mouth of his seed.”

[31:21]  ¹² tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “which he is doing.”

[31:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[8:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “manna which you and your ancestors did not know.” By popular etymology the word “manna” comes from the Hebrew phrase מָן הוּא (man hu’), i.e., “What is it?” (Exod 16:15). The question remains unanswered to this very day. Elsewhere the material is said to be “white like coriander seed” with “a taste like honey cakes” (Exod 16:31; cf. Num 11:7). Modern attempts to associate it with various desert plants are unsuccessful for the text says it was a new thing and, furthermore, one that appeared and disappeared miraculously (Exod 16:21-27).

[8:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in order to make known to you.” In the Hebrew text this statement is subordinated to what precedes, resulting in a very long sentence in English. The translation makes this statement a separate sentence for stylistic reasons.

[8:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the man,” but in a generic sense, referring to the whole human race (“mankind” or “humankind”).

[8:3]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew term may refer to “food” in a more general sense (cf. CEV).

[8:3]  ¹⁹ sn Jesus quoted this text to the devil in the midst of his forty-day fast to make the point that spiritual nourishment is incomparably more important than mere physical bread (Matt 4:4; cf. Luke 4:4).

[25:4]  ²⁰ tn Heb “an.” By implication this is one’s own animal.
