Ulangan 8:18

8:18 You must remember the Lord your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, ¹  even as he has to this day.

Ulangan 13:5

13:5 As for that prophet or dreamer, ²  he must be executed because he encouraged rebellion against the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, redeeming you from that place of slavery, and because he has tried to entice you from the way the Lord your God has commanded you to go. In this way you must purge out evil from within. ³ 

Ulangan 14:23

14:23 In the presence of the Lord your God you must eat from the tithe of your grain, your new wine, ⁴  your olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the place he chooses to locate his name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.

Ulangan 16:3

16:3 You must not eat any yeast with it; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, symbolic of affliction, for you came out of Egypt hurriedly. You must do this so you will remember for the rest of your life the day you came out of the land of Egypt.

Ulangan 19:16

19:16 If a false ⁵  witness testifies against another person and accuses him of a crime, ⁶

29:12 so that you may enter by oath into the covenant the Lord your God is making with you today. ⁷  29:13 Today he will affirm that you are his people and that he is your God, ⁸  just as he promised you and as he swore by oath to your ancestors ⁹  Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Ulangan 19:19

19:19 you must do to him what he had intended to do to the accused. In this way you will purge ¹⁰  evil from among you.

Ulangan 13:2

13:2 and the sign or wonder should come to pass concerning what he said to you, namely, “Let us follow other gods” – gods whom you have not previously known – “and let us serve them.”

Ulangan 20:4

20:4 for the Lord your God goes with you to fight on your behalf against your enemies to give you victory.” ¹¹ 

Ulangan 22:7

22:7 You must be sure ¹²  to let the mother go, but you may take the young for yourself. Do this so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.

Ulangan 8:2

8:2 Remember the whole way by which he ¹³  has brought you these forty years through the desert ¹⁴  so that he might, by humbling you, test you to see if you have it within you to keep his commandments or not.

Ulangan 2:30

Ulangan 20:18

20:18 so that they cannot teach you all the abhorrent ways they worship ¹⁹  their gods, causing you to sin against the Lord your God.

Ulangan 19:6

19:6 Otherwise the blood avenger will chase after the killer in the heat of his anger, eventually overtake him, ²⁰  and kill him, ²¹  though this is not a capital case ²²  since he did not hate him at the time of the accident.

[8:18]  ¹ tc Smr and Lucian add “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” the standard way of rendering this almost stereotypical formula (cf. Deut 1:8; 6:10; 9:5, 27; 29:13; 30:20; 34:4). The MT’s harder reading presumptively argues for its originality, however.

[13:5]  ² tn Heb “or dreamer of dreams.” See note on this expression in v. 1.

[13:5]  ³ tn Heb “your midst” (so NAB, NRSV). The severity of the judgment here (i.e., capital punishment) is because of the severity of the sin, namely, high treason against the Great King. Idolatry is a violation of the first two commandments (Deut 5:6-10) as well as the spirit and intent of the Shema (Deut 6:4-5).

[14:23]  ⁴ tn This refers to wine in the early stages of fermentation. In its later stages it becomes wine (יַיִן, yayin) in its mature sense.

[19:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “violent” (חָמָס, khamas). This is a witness whose motivation from the beginning is to do harm to the accused and who, therefore, resorts to calumny and deceit. See I. Swart and C. VanDam, NIDOTTE 2:177-80.

[19:16]  ⁶ tn Or “rebellion.” Rebellion against God’s law is in view (cf. NAB “of a defection from the law”).

[29:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “for you to pass on into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oath, which the Lord your God is cutting with you today.”

[29:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “in order to establish you today to him for a people and he will be to you for God.” Verses 10-13 are one long sentence in Hebrew. The translation divides this into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

[29:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 25).

[19:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “you will burn out” (בִּעַרְתָּ, bi’arta). Like a cancer, unavenged sin would infect the whole community. It must, therefore, be excised by the purging out of its perpetrators who, presumably, remained unrepentant (cf. Deut 13:6; 17:7, 12; 21:21; 22:21-22, 24; 24:7).

[20:4]  ¹¹ tn Or “to save you” (so KJV, NASB, NCV); or “to deliver you.”

[22:7]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “be sure.”

[8:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[8:2]  ¹⁴ tn Or “wilderness” (so KJV, NRSV, NLT); likewise in v. 15.

[2:30]  ¹⁵ tc The translation follows the LXX in reading the first person pronoun. The MT, followed by many English versions, has a second person masculine singular pronoun, “your.”

[2:30]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “hardened his spirit” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); NIV “made his spirit stubborn.”

[2:30]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “made his heart obstinate” (so KJV, NASB); NRSV “made his heart defiant.”

[2:30]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “into your hand.”

[20:18]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “to do according to all their abominations which they do for their gods.”

[19:6]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and overtake him, for the road is long.”

[19:6]  ²¹ tn Heb “smite with respect to life,” that is, fatally.

[19:6]  ²² tn Heb “no judgment of death.”
