[33:4]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term תּוֹרָה (torah) here should be understood more broadly as instruction.

[1:8]  ² tn Heb “mouth.”

[1:8]  sn This law scroll must not leave your lips. The ancient practice of reading aloud to oneself as an aid to memorization is in view here.

[1:8]  ³ tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).

[1:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “be careful to do.”

[1:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

[1:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “Get up!”

[1:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).

[1:2]  ⁹ tc Heb “Cross over this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land that I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.” The final phrase, “to the children of Israel,” is probably a later scribal addition specifying the identity of “these people/them.”

[22:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to seek the Lord from him.”

[22:8]  ¹¹ tn Or “hate.”

[22:8]  ¹² tn The words “his name is” are supplied for stylistic reasons.

[4:4]  ¹³ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).

[4:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “which I commanded him in Horeb concerning all Israel, statutes and ordinances.”

[9:4]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “of whom.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[9:4]  ¹⁶ tn The Greek term υἱοθεσία (Juioqesia) was originally a legal technical term for adoption as a son with full rights of inheritance. BDAG 1024 s.v. notes, “a legal t.t. of ‘adoption’ of children, in our lit., i.e. in Paul, only in a transferred sense of a transcendent filial relationship between God and humans (with the legal aspect, not gender specificity, as major semantic component).” Although some modern translations remove the filial sense completely and render the term merely “adoption” (cf. NAB, ESV), the retention of this component of meaning was accomplished in the present translation by the phrase “as sons.”

[9:4]  ¹⁷ tn Or “cultic service.”
