Ulangan 7:19

7:19 the great judgments ¹  you saw, the signs and wonders, the strength and power ²  by which he ³  brought you out – thus the Lord your God will do to all the people you fear.

Ulangan 21:17

21:17 Rather, he must acknowledge the son of the less loved ⁴  wife as firstborn and give him the double portion ⁵  of all he has, for that son is the beginning of his father’s procreative power ⁶  – to him should go the right of the firstborn.

Ulangan 29:1

Narrative Interlude

29:1 (28:69) ⁷  These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb. ⁸ 

Ulangan 30:20

30:20 I also call on you ⁹  to love the Lord your God, to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually ¹⁰  in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

[7:19]  ¹ tn Heb “testings” (so NAB), a reference to the plagues. See note at 4:34.

[7:19]  ² tn Heb “the strong hand and outstretched arm.” See 4:34.

[7:19]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[21:17]  ⁴ tn See note on the word “other” in v. 15.

[21:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “measure of two.” The Hebrew expression פִּי שְׁנַיִם (piy shÿnayim) suggests a two-thirds split; that is, the elder gets two parts and the younger one part. Cf. 2 Kgs 2:9; Zech 13:8. The practice is implicit in Isaac’s blessing of Jacob (Gen 25:31-34) and Jacob’s blessing of Ephraim (Gen 48:8-22).

[21:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “his generative power” (אוֹן, ’on; cf. HALOT 22 s.v.). Cf. NAB “the first fruits of his manhood”; NRSV “the first issue of his virility.”

[29:1]  ⁷ sn Beginning with 29:1, the verse numbers through 29:29 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 29:1 ET = 28:69 HT, 29:2 ET = 29:1 HT, 29:3 ET = 29:2 HT, etc., through 29:29 ET = 29:28 HT. With 30:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[29:1]  ⁸ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (which some English versions substitute here for clarity, cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

[30:20]  ⁹ tn The words “I also call on you” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 19-20 are one long sentence, which the translation divides into two.

[30:20]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he is your life and the length of your days to live.”
