Ulangan 11:4

11:4 or what he did to the army of Egypt, including their horses and chariots, when he made the waters of the Red Sea ¹  overwhelm them while they were pursuing you and he ²  annihilated them. ³ 

Ulangan 11:17

11:17 Then the anger of the Lord will erupt ⁴  against you and he will close up the sky ⁵  so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed ⁶  from the good land that the Lord ⁷  is about to give you.

Ulangan 23:14

23:14 For the Lord your God walks about in the middle of your camp to deliver you and defeat ⁸  your enemies for you. Therefore your camp should be holy, so that he does not see anything indecent ⁹  among you and turn away from you.

Ulangan 26:19

26:19 Then ¹⁰  he will elevate you above all the nations he has made and you will receive praise, fame, and honor. ¹¹  You will ¹²  be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he has said.

[11:4]  ¹ tn Heb “Reed Sea.” “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.

[11:4]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:4]  ³ tn Heb “and the Lord destroyed them to this day” (cf. NRSV); NLT “he has kept them devastated to this very day.” The translation uses the verb “annihilated” to indicate the permanency of the action.

[11:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “will become hot”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “will be kindled”; NAB “will flare up”; NIV, NLT “will burn.”

[11:17]  ⁵ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[11:17]  ⁶ tn Or “be destroyed”; NAB, NIV “will soon perish.”

[11:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 11:4.

[23:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “give [over] your enemies.”

[23:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “nakedness of a thing”; NLT “any shameful thing.” The expression עֶרְוַת דָּבָר (’ervat davar) refers specifically to sexual organs and, by extension, to any function associated with them. There are some aspects of human life that are so personal and private that they ought not be publicly paraded. Cultically speaking, even God is offended by such impropriety (cf. Gen 9:22-23; Lev 18:6-12, 16-19; 20:11, 17-21). See B. Seevers, NIDOTTE 3:528-30.

[26:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “so that.” Verses 18-19 are one sentence in the Hebrew text, but the translation divides it into three sentences for stylistic reasons. The first clause in verse 19 gives a result of the preceding clause. When Israel keeps God’s law, God will bless them with fame and honor (cf. NAB “he will then raise you high in praise and renown and glory”; NLT “And if you do, he will make you greater than any other nation”).

[26:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “for praise and for a name and for glory.”

[26:19]  ¹² tn Heb “and to be.” A new sentence was started here for stylistic reasons.
