Ulangan 12:21

12:21 If the place he ¹  chooses to locate his name is too far for you, you may slaughter any of your herd and flock he ²  has given you just as I have stipulated; you may eat them in your villages ³  just as you wish.

Ulangan 26:3

26:3 You must go to the priest in office at that time and say to him, “I declare today to the Lord your ⁴  God that I have come into the land that the Lord ⁵  promised ⁶  to our ancestors ⁷  to give us.”

[12:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ³ tn Heb “gates” (so KJV, NASB); NAB “in your own community.”

[26:3]  ⁴ tc For the MT reading “your God,” certain LXX mss have “my God,” a contextually superior rendition followed by some English versions (e.g., NAB, NASB, TEV). Perhaps the text reflects dittography of the kaf (כ) at the end of the word with the following preposition כִּי (ki).

[26:3]  ⁵ tc The Syriac adds “your God” to complete the usual formula.

[26:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “swore on oath.”

[26:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 7, 15).
