Ulangan 15:3

15:3 You may exact payment from a foreigner, but whatever your fellow Israelite ¹  owes you, you must remit.

Ulangan 32:9

32:9 For the Lord’s allotment is his people,

Jacob is his special possession. ² 

Ulangan 33:25

33:25 The bars of your gates ³  will be made of iron and bronze,

and may you have lifelong strength.

[15:3]  ¹ tn Heb “your brother.”

[32:9]  ² tc Heb “the portion of his inheritance.” The LXX and Smr add “Israel” and BHS suggests the reconstruction: “The Lord’s allotment is Jacob, the portion of his inheritance is Israel” (cf. NAB). While providing good parallelism, it destroys a fine chiastic structure: “allotment” (a), “his people” (b), “Jacob (b’), and “inheritance” (a’).

[33:25]  ³ tn The words “of your gates” have been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent of “bars.”
