Ulangan 7:7
Konteks7:7 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 7:13
Konteks7:13 He will love and bless you, and make you numerous. He will bless you with many children, 1 with the produce of your soil, your grain, your new wine, your oil, the offspring of your oxen, and the young of your flocks in the land which he promised your ancestors to give you.
Ulangan 11:1
Konteks11:1 You must love the Lord your God and do what he requires; keep his statutes, ordinances, and commandments 2 at all times.
Ulangan 19:9
Konteks19:9 and then you are careful to observe all these commandments 3 I am giving 4 you today (namely, to love the Lord your God and to always walk in his ways), then you must add three more cities 5 to these three.
[7:13] 1 tn Heb “will bless the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).
[11:1] 2 tn This collocation of technical terms for elements of the covenant text lends support to its importance and also signals a new section of paraenesis in which Moses will exhort Israel to covenant obedience. The Hebrew term מִשְׁמָרוֹת (mishmarot, “obligations”) sums up the three terms that follow – חֻקֹּת (khuqot), מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishppatim), and מִצְוֹת (mitsot).
[19:9] 3 tn Heb “all this commandment.” This refers here to the entire covenant agreement of the Book of Deuteronomy as encapsulated in the Shema (Deut 6:4-5).
[19:9] 4 tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you today.”
[19:9] 5 sn You will add three more cities. Since these are alluded to nowhere else and thus were probably never added, this must be a provision for other cities of refuge should they be needed (cf. v. 8). See P. C. Craigie, Deuteronomy (NICOT), 267.
