Ulangan 4:38

4:38 to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you and brought you here this day to give you their land as your property. ¹ 

Ulangan 6:2

6:2 and that you may so revere the Lord your God that you will keep all his statutes and commandments ²  that I am giving ³  you – you, your children, and your grandchildren – all your lives, to prolong your days.

Ulangan 11:2

11:2 Bear in mind today that I am not speaking ⁴  to your children who have not personally experienced the judgments ⁵  of the Lord your God, which revealed ⁶  his greatness, strength, and power. ⁷ 

Ulangan 12:1

The Central Sanctuary

12:1 These are the statutes and ordinances you must be careful to obey as long as you live in the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, ⁸  has given you to possess. ⁹ 

Ulangan 16:2

16:2 You must sacrifice the Passover animal ¹⁰  (from the flock or the herd) to the Lord your God in the place where he ¹¹  chooses to locate his name.

Ulangan 28:33

Ulangan 29:22

29:22 The generation to come – your descendants who will rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who will come from distant places – will see ¹²  the afflictions of that land and the illnesses that the Lord has brought on it.

Ulangan 31:13

31:13 Then their children, who have not known this law, ¹³  will also hear about and learn to fear the Lord your God for as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

Ulangan 31:27

31:27 for I know about your rebellion and stubbornness. ¹⁴  Indeed, even while I have been living among you to this very day, you have rebelled against the Lord; you will be even more rebellious after my death! ¹⁵ 

[4:38]  ¹ tn Heb “(as) an inheritance,” that is, landed property that one can pass on to one’s descendants.

[6:2]  ² tn Here the terms are not the usual חֻקִּים (khuqqim) and מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishpatim; as in v. 1) but חֻקֹּת (khuqqot, “statutes”) and מִצְוֹת (mitsot, “commandments”). It is clear that these terms are used interchangeably and that their technical precision ought not be overly stressed.

[6:2]  ³ tn Heb “commanding.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation.

[11:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “that not.” The words “I am speaking” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[11:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the Lord.” The collocation of the verbs “know” and “see” indicates that personal experience (knowing by seeing) is in view. The term translated “discipline” (KJV, ASV “chastisement”) may also be rendered “instruction,” but vv. 2b-6 indicate that the referent of the term is the various acts of divine judgment the Israelites had witnessed.

[11:2]  ⁶ tn The words “which revealed” have been supplied in the translation to show the logical relationship between the terms that follow and the divine judgments. In the Hebrew text the former are in apposition to the latter.

[11:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “his strong hand and his stretched-out arm.”

[12:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “fathers.”

[12:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “you must be careful to obey in the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess all the days which you live in the land.” This adverbial statement modifies “to obey,” not “to possess,” so the order in the translation has been rearranged to make this clear.

[16:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

[29:22]  ¹² tn Heb “will say and see.” One expects a quotation to appear, but it seems to be omitted. To avoid confusion in the translation, the verb “will say” is omitted.

[31:13]  ¹³ tn The phrase “this law” is not in the Hebrew text, but English style requires an object for the verb here. Other translations also supply the object which is otherwise implicit (cf. NIV “who do not know this law”; TEV “who have never heard the Law of the Lord your God”).

[31:27]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “stiffness of neck” (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV). See note on the word “stubborn” in Deut 9:6.

[31:27]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “How much more after my death?” The Hebrew text has a sarcastic rhetorical question here; the translation seeks to bring out the force of the question.
