¹tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

²tn Heb “may prolong your days”; NAB “may have long life”; TEV “will continue to live.”

³tn Heb “repeat” (so NLT). If from the root I שָׁנַן (shanan), the verb means essentially to “engrave,” that is, “to teach incisively” (Piel); note NAB “Drill them into your children.” Cf. BDB 1041-42 s.v.

⁴tn Or “as you are away on a journey” (cf. NRSV, TEV, NLT); NAB “at home and abroad.”

⁵tn Heb “upright.”

⁶tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.

⁷tn Heb “to your son.”

⁸tn Heb “by a strong hand.” The image is that of a warrior who, with weapon in hand, overcomes his enemies. The Lord is commonly depicted as a divine warrior in the Book of Deuteronomy (cf. 5:15; 7:8; 9:26; 26:8).

⁹tn Heb “heart and soul” or “heart and being.” See note on the word “being” in Deut 6:5.

¹⁰tn On the Hebrew term טוֹטָפֹת (totafot, “reminders”), cf. Deut 6:4-9.

¹¹sn Mount Gerizim…Mount Ebal. These two mountains are near the ancient site of Shechem and the modern city of Nablus. The valley between them is like a great amphitheater with the mountain slopes as seating sections. The place was sacred because it was there that Abraham pitched his camp and built his first altar after coming to Canaan (Gen 12:6). Jacob also settled at Shechem for a time and dug a well from which Jesus once requested a drink of water (Gen 33:18-20; John 4:5-7). When Joshua and the Israelites finally brought Canaan under control they assembled at Shechem as Moses commanded and undertook a ritual of covenant reaffirmation (Josh 8:30-35; 24:1, 25). Half the tribes stood on Mt. Gerizim and half on Mt. Ebal and in antiphonal chorus pledged their loyalty to the Lord before Joshua and the Levites who stood in the valley below (Josh 8:33; cf. Deut 27:11-13).

¹²tc Again, to complete a commonly attested wording the LXX adds after “choose” the phrase “to place his name there.” This shows insensitivity to deliberate departures from literary stereotypes. The MT reading is to be preferred.

¹³sn These other sacrifices would be so-called peace or fellowship offerings whose ritual required a different use of the blood from that of burnt (sin and trespass) offerings (cf. Lev 3; 7:11-14, 19-21).

¹⁴tn Heb “on the altar of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

¹⁵tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “make sure.”

¹⁶tn Heb “your brother.”

¹⁷tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “generously.”

¹⁸tn The Hebrew phrase חַג שָׁבֻעוֹת (khag shavu’ot) is otherwise known in the OT (Exod 23:16) as קָצִיר (qatsir, “harvest”) and in the NT as πεντηχοστή (penthcosth, “Pentecost”).

¹⁹tn Heb “the sufficiency of the offering of your hand.”

²⁰tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

²¹tn Heb “in your gates.”

²²tn The Hebrew term וְשֹׁטְרִים (vÿshoterim), usually translated “officers” (KJV, NCV) or “officials” (NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT), derives from the verb שֹׁטֵר (shoter, “to write”). The noun became generic for all types of public officials. Here, however, it may be appositionally epexegetical to “judges,” thus resulting in the phrase, “judges, that is, civil officers,” etc. Whoever the שֹׁטְרִים are, their task here consists of rendering judgments and administering justice.

²³tn Heb “gates.”

²⁴tn Heb “with judgment of righteousness”; ASV, NASB “with righteous judgment.”

²⁵tn Heb “judgment”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “the priest’s due.”

²⁶tn Heb “the firstfruits of your…” (so NIV).

²⁷tn The גֹאֵל הַדָּם (go’el haddam, “avenger of blood”) would ordinarily be a member of the victim’s family who, after due process of law, was invited to initiate the process of execution (cf. Num 35:16-28). See R. Hubbard, NIDOTTE 1:789-94.

²⁸tn The appositional construction (“before the Lord, that is, before the priests and judges”) indicates that these human agents represented the Lord himself, that is, they stood in his place (cf. Deut 16:18-20; 17:8-9).

²⁹tn Heb “if it answers you peace.”

³⁰tn Heb “become as a vassal and will serve you.” The Hebrew term translated slaves (מַס, mas) refers either to Israelites who were pressed into civil service, especially under Solomon (1 Kgs 5:27; 9:15, 21; 12:18), or (as here) to foreigners forced as prisoners of war to become slaves to Israel. The Gibeonites exemplify this type of servitude (Josh 9:3-27; cf. Josh 16:10; 17:13; Judg 1:28, 30-35; Isa 31:8; Lam 1:1).

³¹tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

³²tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

³³tn Heb “hide yourself.”

³⁴tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

³⁵tn Or “a parapet” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); KJV “a battlement”; NLT “a barrier.”

³⁶tn Heb “that you not place bloodshed in your house.”

³⁷sn In light of v. 17 this would evidently be blood-stained sheets indicative of the first instance of intercourse. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 302-3.

³⁸tn Heb “hated.” See note on the word “other” in Deut 21:15.

³⁹tn Heb “lying with” (so KJV, NASB), a Hebrew idiom for sexual relations.

⁴⁰tn Heb “a woman married to a husband.”

⁴¹tn Heb “burn.” See note on the phrase “purge out” in Deut 21:21.

⁴²tn Heb “nocturnal happening.” The Hebrew term קָרֶה (qareh) merely means “to happen” so the phrase here is euphemistic (a “night happening”) for some kind of bodily emission such as excrement or semen. Such otherwise normal physical functions rendered one ritually unclean whether accidental or not. See Lev 15:16-18; 22:4.

⁴³tn Heb “from his brothers, from the sons of Israel.” The terms “brothers” and “sons of Israel” are in apposition; the second defines the first more specifically.

⁴⁴tn Or “and enslaves him.”

⁴⁵tn Heb “that thief.”

⁴⁶tn Heb “burn.” See note on the word “purge” in Deut 19:19.

⁴⁷tn Heb “to watch carefully and to do.”

⁴⁸tn Heb “and it will be that.”

⁴⁹tn Heb “the firstborn.” This refers to the oldest male child.

⁵⁰tn Or “household” (so NASB, NIV, NLT); Heb “house” (so KJV, NRSV).

⁵¹tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁵²tn Heb “plaster” (so KJV, ASV; likewise in v. 4). In the translation “cover” has been used for stylistic reasons.

⁵³tn Heb “fathers.”

⁵⁴tn Heb “man,” but in a generic sense here.

⁵⁵tn The Hebrew term translated here “abhorrent” (תּוֹעֵבָה, to’evah) speaks of attitudes and/or behaviors so vile as to be reprehensible to a holy God. See note on the word “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25.

⁵⁶tn Heb “craftsman’s hands.”

⁵⁷tn Or “So be it!” The term is an affirmation expressing agreement with the words of the Levites.
