2:32 When Sihon and all his troops ¹  emerged to encounter us in battle at Jahaz, ² 

Ulangan 4:24

4:24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire; he is a jealous God. ³ 

Ulangan 21:17

21:17 Rather, he must acknowledge the son of the less loved ⁴  wife as firstborn and give him the double portion ⁵  of all he has, for that son is the beginning of his father’s procreative power ⁶  – to him should go the right of the firstborn.

Ulangan 24:2

Ulangan 28:56

[4:24]  ³ tn The juxtaposition of the Hebrew terms אֵשׁ (’esh, “fire”) and קַנָּא (qanna’, “jealous”) is interesting in light of Deut 6:15 where the Lord is seen as a jealous God whose anger bursts into a destructive fire. For God to be “jealous” means that his holiness and uniqueness cannot tolerate pretended or imaginary rivals. It is not petty envy but response to an act of insubordination that must be severely judged (see H. Peels, NIDOTTE 3:937-40).

[21:17]  ⁴ tn See note on the word “other” in v. 15.

[21:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “measure of two.” The Hebrew expression פִּי שְׁנַיִם (piy shÿnayim) suggests a two-thirds split; that is, the elder gets two parts and the younger one part. Cf. 2 Kgs 2:9; Zech 13:8. The practice is implicit in Isaac’s blessing of Jacob (Gen 25:31-34) and Jacob’s blessing of Ephraim (Gen 48:8-22).

[21:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “his generative power” (אוֹן, ’on; cf. HALOT 22 s.v.). Cf. NAB “the first fruits of his manhood”; NRSV “the first issue of his virility.”

[24:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “his house.”

[28:56]  ⁸ tc The LXX adds σφόδρα (sfodra, “very”) to bring the description into line with v. 54.

[28:56]  ⁹ tn Heb “delicateness and tenderness.”
