[2:1]  ¹ tn Heb “Reed Sea.” See note on the term “Red Sea” in Deut 1:40.

[3:1]  ² tn Heb “turned and went up.”

[3:1]  ³ sn Bashan. This plateau country, famous for its oaks (Isa 2:13) and cattle (Deut 32:14; Amos 4:1), was north of Gilead along the Yarmuk River.

[3:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “people.”

[3:1]  ⁵ sn Edrei is probably modern Deràa, 60 mi (95 km) south of Damascus (see Num 21:33; Josh 12:4; 13:12, 31; also mentioned in Deut 1:4).

[5:33]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[5:33]  ⁷ tn Heb “may prolong your days”; NAB “may have long life”; TEV “will continue to live.”

[9:16]  ⁸ tn On the phrase “metal calf,” see note on the term “metal image” in v. 12.

[9:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[11:30]  ¹⁰ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:30]  ¹¹ sn Gilgal. From a Hebrew verb root גָלַל (galal, “to roll”) this place name means “circle” or “rolling,” a name given because God had “rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you” (Josh 5:9). It is perhaps to be identified with Khirbet el-Metjir, 1.2 mi (2 km) northeast of OT Jericho.

[11:30]  ¹² tc The MT plural “oaks” (אֵלוֹנֵי, ’eloney) should probably be altered (with many Greek texts) to the singular “oak” (אֵלוֹן, ’elon; cf. NRSV) in line with the only other occurrence of the phrase (Gen 12:6). The Syriac, Tg. Ps.-J. read mmrá, confusing this place with the “oaks of Mamre” near Hebron (Gen 13:18). Smr also appears to confuse “Moreh” with “Mamre” (reading mwr’, a combined form), adding the clarification mwl shkm (“near Shechem”) apparently to distinguish it from Mamre near Hebron.

[19:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “border.”

[22:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “you must not see.” See note at 22:1.

[22:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and (must not) hide yourself from them.”

[22:4]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “be sure.”

[22:4]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “help him to lift them up.” In keeping with English style the singular is used in the translation, and the referent (“the animal”) has been specified for clarity.

[25:18]  ¹⁸ sn See Exod 17:8-16.

[28:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

[28:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and walk in his ways” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[32:4]  ²¹ tc The LXX reads Θεός (qeos, “God”) for the MT’s “Rock.”

[32:4]  sn The Hebrew term depicts God as a rocky summit where one may find safety and protection. Within a covenantal context it serves as a reminder to the people that their God has committed himself to their protection in return for their allegiance.

[32:4]  ²² tn Or “just” (KJV, NAB, NRSV, NLT) or “righteous” (NASB).
