Ulangan 4:31

4:31 (for he ¹  is a merciful God), he will not let you down ²  or destroy you, for he cannot ³  forget the covenant with your ancestors that he confirmed by oath to them.

Ulangan 6:23

6:23 He delivered us from there so that he could give us the land he had promised our ancestors.

Ulangan 10:15

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.

[4:31]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:31]  ² tn Heb “he will not drop you,” i.e., “will not abandon you” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[4:31]  ³ tn Or “will not.” The translation understands the imperfect verbal form to have an added nuance of capability here.

[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.
