Ulangan 7:25

7:25 You must burn the images of their gods, but do not covet the silver and gold that covers them so much that you take it for yourself and thus become ensnared by it; for it is abhorrent ⁶  to the Lord your God.

Ulangan 8:18

Ulangan 13:17

Ulangan 20:19

20:19 If you besiege a city for a long time while attempting to capture it, ¹⁵  you must not chop down its trees, ¹⁶  for you may eat fruit ¹⁷  from them and should not cut them down. A tree in the field is not human that you should besiege it! ¹⁸ 

Ulangan 24:4

Ulangan 24:19

Ulangan 31:14

The Commissioning of Joshua

31:14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The day of your death is near. Summon Joshua and present yourselves in the tent ³⁰  of meeting ³¹  so that I can commission him.” ³²  So Moses and Joshua presented themselves in the tent of meeting.

[4:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:21]  ² tn The Hebrew text includes “(as) an inheritance,” or “(as) a possession.”

[4:40]  ³ tn Heb “commanding” (so NRSV).

[7:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “the God.” The article here expresses uniqueness; cf. TEV “is the only God”; NLT “is indeed God.”

[7:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “who keeps covenant and loyalty.” The syndetic construction of בְּרִית (bÿrit) and חֶסֶד (khesed) should be understood not as “covenant” plus “loyalty” but as an adverbial construction in which חֶסֶד (“loyalty”) modifies the verb שָׁמַר (shamar, “keeps”).

[7:25]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “abhorrent; detestable”) describes anything detestable to the Lord because of its innate evil or inconsistency with his own nature and character. Frequently such things (or even persons) must be condemned to annihilation (חֵרֶם, kherem) lest they become a means of polluting or contaminating others (cf. Deut 13:17; 20:17-18). See M. Grisanti, NIDOTTE 4:315.

[8:18]  ⁷ tc Smr and Lucian add “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” the standard way of rendering this almost stereotypical formula (cf. Deut 1:8; 6:10; 9:5, 27; 29:13; 30:20; 34:4). The MT’s harder reading presumptively argues for its originality, however.

[9:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “fortified to the heavens” (so NRSV); NLT “cities with walls that reach to the sky.” This is hyperbole.

[12:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “within your gates” (so KJV, NASB); NAB “who belongs to your community.”

[12:12]  ¹⁰ sn They have no allotment or inheritance with you. See note on the word “inheritance” in Deut 10:9.

[13:17]  ¹¹ tn Or “anything that has been put under the divine curse”; Heb “anything of the ban” (cf. NASB). See note on the phrase “divine judgment” in Deut 2:34.

[19:6]  ¹² tn Heb “and overtake him, for the road is long.”

[19:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “smite with respect to life,” that is, fatally.

[19:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “no judgment of death.”

[20:19]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “to fight against it to capture it.”

[20:19]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “you must not destroy its trees by chopping them with an iron” (i.e., an ax).

[20:19]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “you may eat from them.” The direct object is not expressed; the word “fruit” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[20:19]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “to go before you in siege.”

[24:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “to return to take her to be his wife.”

[24:4]  ²⁰ sn The issue here is not divorce and its grounds per se but prohibition of remarriage to a mate whom one has previously divorced.

[24:4]  ²¹ tn Heb “cause the land to sin” (so KJV, ASV).

[24:19]  ²² tn Heb “in the field.”

[24:19]  ²³ tn Heb “of your hands.” This law was later applied in the story of Ruth who, as a poor widow, was allowed by generous Boaz to glean in his fields (Ruth 2:1-13).

[26:3]  ²⁴ 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]  ²⁵ tc The Syriac adds “your God” to complete the usual formula.

[26:3]  ²⁶ tn Heb “swore on oath.”

[26:3]  ²⁷ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 7, 15).

[28:56]  ²⁸ tc The LXX adds σφόδρα (sfodra, “very”) to bring the description into line with v. 54.

[28:56]  ²⁹ tn Heb “delicateness and tenderness.”

[31:14]  ³⁰ tc The LXX reads “by the door of the tent” in line with v. 10 but also, perhaps, as a reflection of its tendency to avoid over-familiarity with Yahweh and his transcendence.

[31:14]  ³¹ tn Heb “tent of assembly” (מוֹעֵד אֹהֶל, ’ohel mo’ed); this is not always the same as the tabernacle, which is usually called מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, “dwelling-place”), a reference to its being invested with God’s presence. The “tent of meeting” was erected earlier than the tabernacle and was the place where Yahweh occasionally appeared, especially to Moses (cf. Exod 18:7-16; 33:7-11; Num 11:16, 24, 26; 12:4).

[31:14]  ³² tn Heb “I will command him.”
