Ulangan 1:31

1:31 and in the desert, where you saw him ¹  carrying you along like a man carries his son. This he did everywhere you went until you came to this very place.”

Ulangan 14:1

The Holy and the Profane

14:1 You are children ²  of the Lord your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave your forehead bald ³  for the sake of the dead.

[1:31]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun (“him”) has been employed in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[14:1]  ² tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); TEV, NLT “people.”

[14:1]  ³ sn Do not cut yourselves or shave your forehead bald. These were pagan practices associated with mourning the dead; they were not be imitated by God’s people (though they frequently were; cf. 1 Kgs 18:28; Jer 16:6; 41:5; 47:5; Hos 7:14 [LXX]; Mic 5:1). For other warnings against such practices see Lev 21:5; Jer 16:5.
