Ulangan 4:5

4:5 Look! I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the Lord my God told me to do, so that you might carry them out in ¹  the land you are about to enter and possess.

Ulangan 6:2

6:2 and that you may so revere the Lord your God that you will keep all his statutes and commandments ²  that I am giving ³  you – you, your children, and your grandchildren – all your lives, to prolong your days.

Ulangan 19:2

19:2 you must set apart for yourselves three cities ⁴  in the middle of your land that the Lord your God is giving you as a possession.

[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “in the midst of” (so ASV).

[6:2]  ² tn Here the terms are not the usual חֻקִּים (khuqqim) and מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishpatim; as in v. 1) but חֻקֹּת (khuqqot, “statutes”) and מִצְוֹת (mitsot, “commandments”). It is clear that these terms are used interchangeably and that their technical precision ought not be overly stressed.

[6:2]  ³ tn Heb “commanding.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation.

[19:2]  ⁴ sn These three cities, later designated by Joshua, were Kedesh of Galilee, Shechem, and Hebron (Josh 20:7-9).
