17:16 Moreover, he must not accumulate horses for himself or allow the people to return to Egypt to do so, 1 for the Lord has said you must never again return that way.
Ulangan 18:16
18:16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the Lord your God: “Please do not make us hear the voice of the Lord our 2 God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.”
1 tnHeb “in order to multiply horses.” The translation uses “do so” in place of “multiply horses” to avoid redundancy (cf. NAB, NIV).
2 tn The Hebrew text uses the collective singular in this verse: “my God…lest I die.”
