Ulangan 34:12

34:12 and he displayed great power ⁶  and awesome might in view of all Israel. ⁷ 

[9:2]  ¹ sn Anakites. See note on this term in Deut 1:28.

[9:2]  ² tn Heb “great and tall.” Many English versions understand this to refer to physical size or strength rather than numbers (cf. “strong,” NIV, NCV, NRSV, NLT).

[13:11]  ³ sn Some see in this statement an argument for the deterrent effect of capital punishment (Deut 17:13; 19:20; 21:21).

[13:14]  ⁴ tc Theodotian adds “in Israel,” perhaps to broaden the matter beyond the local village.

[33:24]  ⁵ sn Dip his foot in olive oil. This is a metaphor for prosperity, one especially apt in light of the abundance of olive groves in the area settled by Asher. The Hebrew term refers to olive oil, which symbolizes blessing in the OT. See R. Way, NIDOTTE 4:171-73.

[34:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “strong hand.”

[34:12]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text of v. 12 reads literally, “with respect to all the strong hand and with respect to all the awesome greatness which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.”
