Ulangan 1:43

1:43 I spoke to you, but you did not listen. Instead you rebelled against the Lord ⁵  and recklessly went up to the hill country.

Ulangan 5:27

5:27 You go near so that you can hear everything the Lord our God is saying and then you can tell us whatever he ⁶  says to you; then we will pay attention and do it.”

Ulangan 9:10

9:10 The Lord gave me the two stone tablets, written by the very finger ⁷  of God, and on them was everything ⁸  he ⁹  said to you at the mountain from the midst of the fire at the time of that assembly.

[1:3]  ¹ tn Heb “in” or “on.” Here there is a contrast between the ordinary time of eleven days (v. 2) and the actual time of forty years, so “not until” brings out that vast disparity.

[1:3]  ² sn The eleventh month is Shebat in the Hebrew calendar, January/February in the modern (Gregorian) calendar.

[1:3]  ³ sn The fortieth year would be 1406 b.c. according to the “early” date of the exodus. See E. H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, 66-75.

[1:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “according to all which.”

[1:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.” See note at 1:26.

[5:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord our God.” See note on “He” in 5:3.

[9:10]  ⁷ sn The very finger of God. This is a double figure of speech (1) in which God is ascribed human features (anthropomorphism) and (2) in which a part stands for the whole (synecdoche). That is, God, as Spirit, has no literal finger nor, if he had, would he write with his finger. Rather, the sense is that God himself – not Moses in any way – was responsible for the composition of the Ten Commandments (cf. Exod 31:18; 32:16; 34:1).

[9:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “according to all the words.”

[9:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord” (likewise at the beginning of vv. 12, 13). See note on “he” in 9:3.

[10:9]  ¹⁰ sn Levi has no allotment or inheritance. As the priestly tribe, Levi would have no land allotment except for forty-eight towns set apart for their use (Num 35:1-8; Josh 21:1-42). But theirs was a far greater inheritance, for the Lord himself was their apportionment, that is, service to him would be their full-time and lifelong privilege (Num 18:20-24; Deut 18:2; Josh 13:33).

[10:9]  ¹¹ tn That is, among the other Israelite tribes.

[18:19]  ¹² tn Heb “will seek from him”; NAB “I myself will make him answer for it”; NRSV “will hold accountable.”

[18:19]  ¹³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the prophet mentioned in v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:20]  ¹⁴ tn Or “commanded” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[21:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “slain [one].”
