Ulangan 31:14

The Commissioning of Joshua

31:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The day of your death is near. Summon Joshua and present yourselves in the tent ¹¹  of meeting ¹²  so that I can commission him.” ¹³  So Moses and Joshua presented themselves in the tent of meeting.

[4:40]  ¹ tn Heb “commanding” (so NRSV).

[8:1]  ² tn The singular term (מִצְוָה, mitsvah) includes the whole corpus of covenant stipulations, certainly the book of Deuteronomy at least (cf. Deut 5:28; 6:1, 25; 7:11; 11:8, 22; 15:5; 17:20; 19:9; 27:1; 30:11; 31:5). The plural (מִצְוֹת, mitsot) refers to individual stipulations (as in vv. 2, 6).

[8:1]  ³ tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB). For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation (likewise in v. 11).

[8:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “multiply” (so KJV, NASB, NLT); NIV, NRSV “increase.”

[8:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 16, 18).

[12:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “gates” (so KJV, NASB); NAB “in your own community.”

[28:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord your God’s.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

[28:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “commanding” (so NRSV); NASB “which I charge you today.”

[31:14]  ¹¹ tc The LXX reads “by the door of the tent” in line with v. 10 but also, perhaps, as a reflection of its tendency to avoid over-familiarity with Yahweh and his transcendence.

[31:14]  ¹² tn Heb “tent of assembly” (מוֹעֵד אֹהֶל, ’ohel mo’ed); this is not always the same as the tabernacle, which is usually called מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, “dwelling-place”), a reference to its being invested with God’s presence. The “tent of meeting” was erected earlier than the tabernacle and was the place where Yahweh occasionally appeared, especially to Moses (cf. Exod 18:7-16; 33:7-11; Num 11:16, 24, 26; 12:4).

[31:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “I will command him.”
