Ulangan 5:14

5:14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath ¹  of the Lord your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, ²  so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.

Ulangan 12:17

12:17 You will not be allowed to eat in your villages your tithe of grain, new wine, olive oil, the firstborn of your herd and flock, any votive offerings you have vowed, or your freewill and personal offerings.

Ulangan 16:11

16:11 You shall rejoice before him ³  – you, your son, your daughter, your male and female slaves, the Levites in your villages, ⁴  the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows among you – in the place where the Lord chooses to locate his name.

Ulangan 26:14

26:14 I have not eaten anything when I was in mourning, or removed any of it while ceremonially unclean, or offered any of it to the dead; ⁵  I have obeyed you ⁶  and have done everything you have commanded me.

[5:14]  ¹ tn There is some degree of paronomasia (wordplay) here: “the seventh (הַשְּׁבִיעִי, hashÿvi’i) day is the Sabbath (שַׁבָּת, shabbat).” Otherwise, the words have nothing in common, since “Sabbath” is derived from the verb שָׁבַת (shavat, “to cease”).

[5:14]  ² tn Heb “in your gates”; NRSV, CEV “in your towns”; TEV “in your country.”

[16:11]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “gates.”

[26:14]  ⁵ sn These practices suggest overtones of pagan ritual, all of which the confessor denies having undertaken. In Canaan they were connected with fertility practices associated with harvest time. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 335-36.

[26:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord my God.” See note on “he” in 26:2.
