[1:27]  ¹ tn Heb “in your tents,” that is, privately.

[3:28]  ² tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

[4:11]  ³ tn Heb “a mountain burning with fire as far as the heart of the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[4:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “darkness, cloud, and heavy cloud.”

[4:30]  ⁵ sn The phrase is not used here in a technical sense for the eschaton, but rather refers to a future time when Israel will be punished for its sin and experience exile. See Deut 31:29.

[4:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “hear his voice.” The expression is an idiom meaning “obey,” occurring in Deut 8:20; 9:23; 13:18; 21:18, 20; 26:14, 17; 27:10; 28:1-2, 15, 45, 62; 30:2, 8, 10, 20.

[6:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.

[6:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “house,” referring to the entire household.

[10:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “before” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, NRSV “at the head of.”

[10:11]  ¹¹ tn After the imperative these subordinated jussive forms (with prefixed vav) indicate purpose or result.

[10:11]  ¹² tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 15, 22).

[14:24]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 14:2.

[14:24]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew text includes “way is so far from you that you are unable to carry it because the.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because they are redundant.

[17:18]  ¹⁵ tn Or “instruction.” The LXX reads here τὸ δευτερονόμιον τοῦτο (to deuteronomion touto, “this second law”). From this Greek phrase the present name of the book, “Deuteronomy” or “second law” (i.e., the second giving of the law), is derived. However, the MT’s expression מִשְׁנֶה הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת (mishneh hattorah hazzo’t) is better rendered “copy of this law.” Here the term תּוֹרָה (torah) probably refers only to the book of Deuteronomy and not to the whole Pentateuch.

[17:18]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew term סֵפֶר (sefer) means a “writing” or “document” and could be translated “book” (so KJV, ASV, TEV). However, since “book” carries the connotation of a modern bound book with pages (an obvious anachronism) it is preferable to render the Hebrew term “scroll” here and elsewhere.

[25:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “men.”

[25:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the judges) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:1]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “declare to be just”; KJV, NASB “justify the righteous”; NAB, NIV “acquitting the innocent.”

[25:1]  ²⁰ tn Heb “declare to be evil”; NIV “condemning the guilty (+ party NAB).”

[27:2]  ²¹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[27:2]  ²² tn Heb “plaster” (so KJV, ASV; likewise in v. 4). In the translation “cover” has been used for stylistic reasons.

[28:11]  ²³ tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); CEV “will give you a lot of children.”

[28:11]  ²⁴ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

[28:11]  ²⁵ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 36, 64).

[32:24]  ²⁶ tn The Hebrew term קֶטֶב (qetev) is probably metaphorical here for the sting of a disease (HALOT 1091-92 s.v.).

[33:3]  ²⁷ tc Heb “peoples.” The apparent plural form is probably a misunderstood singular (perhaps with a pronominal suffix) with enclitic mem (ם). See HALOT 838 s.v. עַם B.2.

[33:3]  ²⁸ tc Heb “his holy ones.” The third person masculine singular suffix of the Hebrew MT is problematic in light of the second person masculine singular suffix on בְּיָדֶךָ (bÿyadekha, “your hands”). The LXX versions by Lucian and Origen read, therefore, “the holy ones.” The LXX version by Theodotion and the Vulgate, however, presuppose third masculine singular suffix on בְּיָדָיו (bÿyadayv, “his hands”), and thus retain “his holy ones.” The efforts to bring pronominal harmony into the line is commendable but unnecessary given the Hebrew tendency to be untroubled by such grammatical inconsistencies. However, the translation harmonizes the first pronoun with the second so that the referent (the Lord) is clear.

[33:3]  ²⁹ tn Heb “hands.” For the problem of the pronoun see note on the term “holy ones” earlier in this verse.

[33:3]  ³⁰ tn The Hebrew term תֻּכּוּ (tuku, probably Pual perfect of תָּכָה, takhah) is otherwise unknown. The present translation is based on the reference to feet and, apparently, receiving instruction in God’s words (cf. KJV, ASV). Other options are as follows: NIV “At your feet they all bow down” (cf. NCV, CEV); NLT “They follow in your steps” (cf. NAB, NASB); NRSV “they marched at your heels.”

[33:3]  ³¹ tn The singular verbal form in the Hebrew text (lit. “he lifts up”) is understood in a distributive manner, focusing on the action of each individual within the group.
