6:22 And he ¹³  brought signs and great, devastating wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on his whole family ¹⁴  before our very eyes.

Ulangan 7:7

The Basis of Israel’s Election

7:7 It is not because you were more numerous than all the other peoples that the Lord favored and chose you – for in fact you were the least numerous of all peoples.

Ulangan 7:22

7:22 He, ¹⁵  the God who leads you, will expel the nations little by little. You will not be allowed to destroy them all at once lest the wild animals overrun you.

Ulangan 10:15

10:15 However, only to your ancestors did he ¹⁶  show his loving favor, ¹⁷  and he chose you, their descendants, ¹⁸  from all peoples – as is apparent today.

Ulangan 11:28

11:28 and the curse if you pay no attention ¹⁹  to his ²⁰  commandments and turn from the way I am setting before ²¹  you today to pursue ²²  other gods you have not known.

24:15 You must pay his wage that very day before the sun sets, for he is poor and his life depends on it. Otherwise he will cry out to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

32:27 But I fear the reaction ³¹  of their enemies,

Ulangan 33:21

33:21 He has selected the best part for himself,

for the portion of the ruler ³⁴  is set aside ³⁵  there;

he came with the leaders ³⁶  of the people,

he obeyed the righteous laws of the Lord

and his ordinances with Israel.

Ulangan 34:11

34:11 He did ³⁷  all the signs and wonders the Lord had sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, all his servants, and the whole land,

[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.”

[1:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

[1:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.

[1:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.

[1:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).

[1:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “their seed after them.”

[1:36]  ¹⁰ sn Caleb had, with Joshua, brought back to Israel a minority report from Canaan urging a conquest of the land, for he was confident of the Lord’s power (Num 13:6, 8, 16, 30; 14:30, 38).

[1:36]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“me”) has been employed in the translation, since it sounds strange to an English reader for the Lord to speak about himself in third person.

[3:2]  ¹² tn Heb “people.”

[6:22]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.

[6:22]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “house,” referring to the entire household.

[7:22]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 7:19.

[10:15]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “take delight to love.” Here again the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”), juxtaposed with בָחַר (bakhar, “choose”), is a term in covenant contexts that describes the Lord’s initiative in calling the patriarchal ancestors to be the founders of a people special to him (cf. the note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37).

[10:15]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew text includes “after them,” but it is redundant in English style and has not been included in the translation.

[11:28]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “do not listen to,” that is, do not obey.

[11:28]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:28]  ²¹ tn Heb “am commanding” (so NASB, NRSV).

[11:28]  ²² tn Heb “walk after”; NIV “by following”; NLT “by worshiping.” This is a violation of the first commandment, the most serious of the covenant violations (Deut 5:6-7).

[16:6]  ²³ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ²⁴ tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”

[16:6]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[19:2]  ²⁶ sn These three cities, later designated by Joshua, were Kedesh of Galilee, Shechem, and Hebron (Josh 20:7-9).

[28:22]  ²⁷ tn Heb “The Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

[28:22]  ²⁸ tn Or perhaps “consumption” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV). The term is from a verbal root that indicates a weakening of one’s physical strength (cf. NAB “wasting”; NIV, NLT “wasting disease”).

[28:22]  ²⁹ tn Heb “hot fever”; NIV “scorching heat.”

[28:22]  ³⁰ tn Or “drought” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[32:27]  ³¹ tn Heb “anger.”

[32:27]  ³² tn Heb “lest.”

[32:27]  ³³ tn Heb “Our hand is high.” Cf. NAB “Our own hand won the victory.”

[33:21]  ³⁴ tn The Hebrew term מְחֹקֵק (mÿkhoqeq; Poel participle of חָקַק, khaqaq, “to inscribe”) reflects the idea that the recorder of allotments (the “ruler”) is able to set aside for himself the largest and best. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 444-45.

[33:21]  ³⁵ tn Heb “covered in” (if from the root סָפַן, safan; cf. HALOT 764-65 s.v. ספן qal).

[33:21]  ³⁶ tn Heb “heads” (in the sense of chieftains).

[34:11]  ³⁷ tn Heb “to,” “with respect to.” In the Hebrew text vv. 10-12 are one long sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two, using the verb “he did” at the beginning of v. 11 and “he displayed” at the beginning of v. 12.
