Ulangan 26:3-4

26:3 You must go to the priest in office at that time and say to him, “I declare today to the Lord your ¹  God that I have come into the land that the Lord ²  promised ³  to our ancestors ⁴  to give us.” 26:4 The priest will then take the basket from you ⁵  and set it before the altar of the Lord your God.

[26:3]  ¹ 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]  ² tc The Syriac adds “your God” to complete the usual formula.

[26:3]  ³ tn Heb “swore on oath.”

[26:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 7, 15).

[26:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “your hand.”
