Ulangan 15:9

15:9 Be careful lest you entertain the wicked thought that the seventh year, the year of cancellation of debts, has almost arrived, and your attitude ¹  be wrong toward your impoverished fellow Israelite ²  and you do not lend ³  him anything; he will cry out to the Lord against you and you will be regarded as having sinned. ⁴ 

Ulangan 20:19

20:19 If you besiege a city for a long time while attempting to capture it, ⁵  you must not chop down its trees, ⁶  for you may eat fruit ⁷  from them and should not cut them down. A tree in the field is not human that you should besiege it! ⁸ 

Ulangan 30:16

30:16 What ⁹  I am commanding you today is to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to obey his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances. Then you will live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess. ¹⁰ 

[15:9]  ¹ tn Heb “your eye.”

[15:9]  ² tn Heb “your needy brother.”

[15:9]  ³ tn Heb “give” (likewise in v. 10).

[15:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “it will be a sin to you.”

[20:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “to fight against it to capture it.”

[20:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “you must not destroy its trees by chopping them with an iron” (i.e., an ax).

[20:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “you may eat from them.” The direct object is not expressed; the word “fruit” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[20:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “to go before you in siege.”

[30:16]  ⁹ tc A number of LXX mss insert before this verse, “if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God,” thus translating אֲשֶׁר (’asher) as “which” and the rest as “I am commanding you today, to love,” etc., “then you will live,” etc.

[30:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “which you are going there to possess it.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
