Ulangan 1:3
Konteks1:3 However, it was not until 1 the first day of the eleventh month 2 of the fortieth year 3 that Moses addressed the Israelites just as 4 the Lord had instructed him to do.
Ulangan 1:41
Konteks1:41 Then you responded to me and admitted, “We have sinned against the Lord. We will now go up and fight as the Lord our God has told us to do.” So you each put on your battle gear and prepared to go up to the hill country.
Ulangan 4:34
Konteks4:34 Or has God 5 ever before tried to deliver 6 a nation from the middle of another nation, accompanied by judgments, 7 signs, wonders, war, strength, power, 8 and other very terrifying things like the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
Ulangan 9:10
Konteks9:10 The Lord gave me the two stone tablets, written by the very finger 9 of God, and on them was everything 10 he 11 said to you at the mountain from the midst of the fire at the time of that assembly.
Ulangan 17:14
Konteks17:14 When you come to the land the Lord your God is giving you and take it over and live in it and then say, “I will select a king like all the nations surrounding me,”
Ulangan 18:16
Konteks18:16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the Lord your God: “Please do not make us hear the voice of the Lord our 12 God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.”
Ulangan 26:13-14
Konteks26:13 Then you shall say before the Lord your God, “I have removed the sacred offering 13 from my house and given it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows just as you have commanded me. 14 I have not violated or forgotten your commandments. 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; 15 I have obeyed you 16 and have done everything you have commanded me.
[1:3] 1 tn Heb “in” or “on.” Here there is a contrast between the ordinary time of eleven days (v. 2) and the actual time of forty years, so “not until” brings out that vast disparity.
[1:3] 2 sn The eleventh month is Shebat in the Hebrew calendar, January/February in the modern (Gregorian) calendar.
[1:3] 3 sn The fortieth year would be 1406
[1:3] 4 tn Heb “according to all which.”
[4:34] 5 tn The translation assumes the reference is to Israel’s God in which case the point is this: God’s intervention in Israel’s experience is unique in the sense that he has never intervened in such power for any other people on earth. The focus is on the uniqueness of Israel’s experience. Some understand the divine name here in a generic sense, “a god,” or “any god.” In this case God’s incomparability is the focus (cf. v. 35, where this theme is expressed).
[4:34] 6 tn Heb “tried to go to take for himself.”
[4:34] 7 tn Heb “by testings.” The reference here is the judgments upon Pharaoh in the form of plagues. See Deut 7:19 (cf. v. 18) and 29:3 (cf. v. 2).
[4:34] 8 tn Heb “by strong hand and by outstretched arm.”
[9:10] 9 sn The very finger of God. This is a double figure of speech (1) in which God is ascribed human features (anthropomorphism) and (2) in which a part stands for the whole (synecdoche). That is, God, as Spirit, has no literal finger nor, if he had, would he write with his finger. Rather, the sense is that God himself – not Moses in any way – was responsible for the composition of the Ten Commandments (cf. Exod 31:18; 32:16; 34:1).
[9:10] 10 tn Heb “according to all the words.”

[18:16] 12 tn The Hebrew text uses the collective singular in this verse: “my God…lest I die.”
[26:13] 13 tn Heb “the sacred thing.” The term הַקֹּדֶשׁ (haqqodesh) likely refers to an offering normally set apart for the
[26:13] 14 tn Heb “according to all your commandment that you commanded me.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[26:14] 15 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.
