Ulangan 9:4

[4:6]  ¹ tn Heb “it is wisdom and understanding.”

[4:6]  ² tn Heb “wise and understanding.”

[7:9]  ³ tn Heb “the God.” The article here expresses uniqueness; cf. TEV “is the only God”; NLT “is indeed God.”

[7:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “who keeps covenant and loyalty.” The syndetic construction of בְּרִית (bÿrit) and חֶסֶד (khesed) should be understood not as “covenant” plus “loyalty” but as an adverbial construction in which חֶסֶד (“loyalty”) modifies the verb שָׁמַר (shamar, “keeps”).

[8:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[8:2]  ⁶ tn Or “wilderness” (so KJV, NRSV, NLT); likewise in v. 15.

[8:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “flaming serpents”; KJV, NASB “fiery serpents”; NAB “saraph serpents.” This figure of speech (metonymy) probably describes the venomous and painful results of snakebite. The feeling from such an experience would be like a burning fire (שָׂרָף, saraf).

[8:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “the one who brought out for you water.” In the Hebrew text this continues the preceding sentence, but the translation begins a new sentence here for stylistic reasons.

[15:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “your eye.”

[15:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “your needy brother.”

[15:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “give” (likewise in v. 10).

[15:9]  ¹² tn Heb “it will be a sin to you.”

[18:22]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord’s.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the word,” but a predictive word is in view here. Cf. NAB “his oracle.”

[18:22]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “does not happen or come to pass.”

[18:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the Lord has.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “that is the word which the Lord has not spoken.”

[28:12]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “all the work of your hands.”
