Ulangan 31:17

31:17 At that time ¹  my anger will erupt against them ²  and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome ³  them ⁴  so that they ⁵  will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters ⁶  overcome us ⁷  because our ⁸  God is not among us ⁹ ?’

1 Tawarikh 28:9

28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, obey ¹²  the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, ¹³  for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, ¹⁴  but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.

[31:17]  ¹ tn Heb “on that day.” This same expression also appears later in the verse and in v. 18.

[31:17]  ² tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ³ tn Heb “find,” “encounter.”

[31:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “evils.”

[31:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.

[31:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “my.”

[31:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.

[31:1]  ¹⁰ tc For the MT reading וַיֵּלֶךְ (vayyelekh, “he went”), the LXX and Qumran have וַיְכַל (vaykhal, “he finished”): “So Moses finished speaking,” etc. The difficult reading of the MT favors its authenticity.

[31:1]  ¹¹ tn In the MT this refers to the words that follow (cf. NIV, NCV).

[28:9]  ¹² tn Heb “know.”

[28:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “with a complete heart and a willing being.”

[28:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “he will allow himself to be found by you.”
