12:27 You must offer your burnt offerings, both meat and blood, on the altar of the Lord your God; the blood of your other sacrifices ³  you must pour out on his ⁴  altar while you eat the meat.

Ulangan 28:33

Ulangan 32:13

32:13 He enabled him ⁶  to travel over the high terrain of the land,

and he ate of the produce of the fields.

He provided honey for him from the cliffs, ⁷ 

and olive oil ⁸  from the hardest of ⁹  rocks, ¹⁰ 

Ulangan 32:38

32:38 who ate the best of their sacrifices,

Let them rise and help you;

let them be your refuge!

[8:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term may refer to “food” in a more general sense (cf. NASB, NCV, NLT) or “bread” in particular (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[8:9]  ² sn A land whose stones are iron. Since iron deposits are few and far between in Palestine, the reference here is probably to iron ore found in mines as opposed to the meteorite iron more commonly known in that area.

[12:27]  ³ sn 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).

[12:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “on the altar of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[29:6]  ⁵ tc The LXX reads “that he is the Lord your God.”

[32:13]  ⁶ tn The form of the suffix on this verbal form indicates that the verb is a preterite, not an imperfect. As such it simply states the action factually. Note as well the preterites with vav (ו) consecutive that follow in the verse.

[32:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “he made him suck honey from the rock.”

[32:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “oil,” but this probably refers to olive oil; see note on the word “rock” at the end of this verse.

[32:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “flinty.”

[32:13]  ¹⁰ sn Olive oil from rock probably suggests olive trees growing on rocky ledges and yet doing so productively. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 415; cf. TEV “their olive trees flourished in stony ground.”
