Ulangan 4:9

Reminder of the Horeb Covenant

4:9 Again, however, pay very careful attention, ¹  lest you forget the things you have seen and disregard them for the rest of your life; instead teach them to your children and grandchildren.

Ulangan 4:40

4:40 Keep his statutes and commandments that I am setting forth ²  today so that it may go well with you and your descendants and that you may enjoy longevity in the land that the Lord your God is about to give you as a permanent possession.

Ulangan 7:9

7:9 So realize that the Lord your God is the true God, ³  the faithful God who keeps covenant faithfully ⁴  with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,

Ulangan 13:4

13:4 You must follow the Lord your God and revere only him; and you must observe his commandments, obey him, serve him, and remain loyal to him.

Ulangan 19:9

19:9 and then you are careful to observe all these commandments ⁵  I am giving ⁶  you today (namely, to love the Lord your God and to always walk in his ways), then you must add three more cities ⁷  to these three.

Ulangan 26:17

26:17 Today you have declared the Lord to be your God, and that you will walk in his ways, keep his statutes, commandments, and ordinances, and obey him.

[4:9]  ¹ tn Heb “watch yourself and watch your soul carefully.”

[4:40]  ² tn Heb “commanding” (so NRSV).

[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”).

[19:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “all this commandment.” This refers here to the entire covenant agreement of the Book of Deuteronomy as encapsulated in the Shema (Deut 6:4-5).

[19:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you today.”

[19:9]  ⁷ sn You will add three more cities. Since these are alluded to nowhere else and thus were probably never added, this must be a provision for other cities of refuge should they be needed (cf. v. 8). See P. C. Craigie, Deuteronomy (NICOT), 267.
