Ulangan 31:27

31:27 for I know about your rebellion and stubbornness. ⁴  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! ⁵ 

Ulangan 1:39

1:39 Also, your infants, who you thought would die on the way, ⁶  and your children, who as yet do not know good from bad, ⁷  will go there; I will give them the land and they will possess it.

Ulangan 3:11

3:11 Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy ⁸  that his sarcophagus ⁹  was made of iron. ¹⁰  Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath ¹¹  of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet ¹²  long and six feet ¹³  wide according to standard measure.) ¹⁴ 

Ulangan 4:33

4:33 Have a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the middle of fire, as you yourselves have, and lived to tell about it?

Ulangan 5:26

5:26 Who is there from the entire human race ¹⁵  who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the middle of the fire as we have, and has lived?

29:29 Secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those that are revealed belong to us and our descendants ¹⁶  forever, so that we might obey all the words of this law.

Ulangan 5:24

5:24 You said, “The Lord our God has shown us his great glory ¹⁷  and we have heard him speak from the middle of the fire. It is now clear to us ¹⁸  that God can speak to human beings and they can keep on living.

Ulangan 29:16

The Results of Disobedience

29:16 “(For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we crossed through the nations as we traveled.

Ulangan 22:20

22:20 But if the accusation is true and the young woman was not a virgin,

Ulangan 5:3

5:3 He ¹⁹  did not make this covenant with our ancestors ²⁰  but with us, we who are here today, all of us living now.

Ulangan 12:23

12:23 However, by no means eat the blood, for the blood is life itself ²¹  – you must not eat the life with the meat!

Ulangan 28:21

28:21 The Lord will plague you with deadly diseases ²²  until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess.

Ulangan 34:7

34:7 Moses was 120 years old when he died, but his eye was not dull ²³  nor had his vitality ²⁴  departed.

Ulangan 2:30

Ulangan 3:13-14

3:13 The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. ²⁹  (All the region of Argob, ³⁰  that is, all Bashan, is called the land of Rephaim. 3:14 Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites ³¹  and Maacathites ³²  (namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair, ³³  which it retains to this very day.)

Ulangan 28:62

28:62 There will be very few of you left, though at one time you were as numerous as the stars in the sky, ⁴⁰  because you will have disobeyed ⁴¹  the Lord your God.

Ulangan 31:13

31:13 Then their children, who have not known this law, ⁴²  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 8:18

8:18 You must remember the Lord your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, ⁴³  even as he has to this day.

Ulangan 22:21

22:21 the men of her city must bring the young woman to the door of her father’s house and stone her to death, for she has done a disgraceful thing ⁴⁵  in Israel by behaving like a prostitute while living in her father’s house. In this way you will purge ⁴⁶  evil from among you.

[7:20]  ¹ tn The meaning of the term translated “hornets” (צִרְעָה, tsir’ah) is debated. Various suggestions are “discouragement” (HALOT 1056-57 s.v.; cf. NEB, TEV, CEV “panic”; NCV “terror”) and “leprosy” (J. H. Tigay, Deuteronomy [JPSTC], 360, n. 33; cf. NRSV “the pestilence”), as well as “hornet” (BDB 864 s.v.; cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NLT). The latter seems most suitable to the verb שָׁלַח (shalakh, “send”; cf. Exod 23:28; Josh 24:12).

[7:20]  ² tn Heb “the remnant and those who hide themselves.”

[22:28]  ³ tn Heb “lies with.”

[31:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “stiffness of neck” (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV). See note on the word “stubborn” in Deut 9:6.

[31:27]  ⁵ 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.

[1:39]  ⁶ tn Heb “would be a prey.”

[1:39]  ⁷ sn Do not know good from bad. This is a figure of speech called a merism (suggesting a whole by referring to its extreme opposites). Other examples are the tree of “the knowledge of good and evil” (Gen 2:9), the boy who knows enough “to reject the wrong and choose the right” (Isa 7:16; 8:4), and those who “cannot tell their right hand from their left” (Jonah 4:11). A young child is characterized by lack of knowledge.

[3:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “Behold” (הִנֵּה, hinneh).

[3:11]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew term עֶרֶשׂ (’eres), traditionally translated “bed” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT) is likely a basaltic (volcanic) stone sarcophagus of suitable size to contain the coffin of the giant Rephaite king. Its iron-like color and texture caused it to be described as an iron container. See A. Millard, “King Og’s Iron Bed: Fact or Fancy?” BR 6 (1990): 16-21, 44; cf. also NEB “his sarcophagus of basalt”; TEV, CEV “his coffin.”

[3:11]  ¹⁰ tn Or “of iron-colored basalt.” See note on the word “sarcophagus” earlier in this verse.

[3:11]  ¹¹ sn Rabbath. This place name (usually occurring as Rabbah; 2 Sam 11:11; 12:27; Jer 49:3) refers to the ancient capital of the Ammonite kingdom, now the modern city of Amman, Jordan. The word means “great [one],” probably because of its political importance. The fact that the sarcophagus “still remain[ed]” there suggests this part of the verse is post-Mosaic, having been added as a matter of explanation for the existence of the artifact and also to verify the claim as to its size.

[3:11]  ¹² tn Heb “nine cubits.” Assuming a length of 18 in (45 cm) for the standard cubit, this would be 13.5 ft (4.1 m) long.

[3:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “four cubits.” This would be 6 ft (1.8 m) wide.

[3:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “by the cubit of man.” This probably refers to the “short” or “regular” cubit of approximately 18 in (45 cm).

[5:26]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “who is there of all flesh.”

[29:29]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); KJV, ASV, NIV, NRSV “children.”

[5:24]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “his glory and his greatness.”

[5:24]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “this day we have seen.”

[5:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[5:3]  ²⁰ tn Heb “fathers.”

[12:23]  ²¹ sn The blood is life itself. This is a figure of speech (metonymy) in which the cause or means (the blood) stands for the result or effect (life). That is, life depends upon the existence and circulation of blood, a truth known empirically but not scientifically tested and proved until the 17th century a.d. (cf. Lev 17:11).

[28:21]  ²² tn Heb “will cause pestilence to cling to you.”

[34:7]  ²³ tn Or “dimmed.” The term could refer to dull appearance or to dimness caused by some loss of visual acuity.

[34:7]  ²⁴ tn Heb “sap.” That is, he was still in possession of his faculties or liveliness.

[2:30]  ²⁵ tc The translation follows the LXX in reading the first person pronoun. The MT, followed by many English versions, has a second person masculine singular pronoun, “your.”

[2:30]  ²⁶ tn Heb “hardened his spirit” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); NIV “made his spirit stubborn.”

[2:30]  ²⁷ tn Heb “made his heart obstinate” (so KJV, NASB); NRSV “made his heart defiant.”

[2:30]  ²⁸ tn Heb “into your hand.”

[3:13]  ²⁹ sn Half the tribe of Manasseh. The tribe of Manasseh split into clans, with half opting to settle in Bashan and the other half in Canaan (cf. Num 32:39-42; Josh 17:1-13).

[3:13]  ³⁰ sn Argob. See note on this term in v. 4.

[3:14]  ³¹ sn Geshurites. Geshur was a city and its surrounding area somewhere northeast of Bashan (cf. Josh 12:5 ; 13:11, 13). One of David’s wives was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur and mother of Absalom (cf. 2 Sam 13:37; 15:8; 1 Chr 3:2).

[3:14]  ³² sn Maacathites. These were the people of a territory southwest of Mount Hermon on the Jordan River. The name probably has nothing to do with David’s wife from Geshur (see note on “Geshurites” earlier in this verse).

[3:14]  ³³ sn Havvoth-Jair. The Hebrew name means “villages of Jair,” the latter being named after a son (i.e., descendant) of Manasseh who took the area by conquest.

[9:19]  ³⁴ tn Heb “the anger and the wrath.” Although many English versions translate as two terms, this construction is a hendiadys which serves to intensify the emotion (cf. NAB, TEV “fierce anger”).

[9:19]  ³⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[11:21]  ³⁶ tn Heb “like the days of the heavens upon the earth,” that is, forever.

[22:15]  ³⁷ sn In light of v. 17 this would evidently be blood-stained sheets indicative of the first instance of intercourse. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 302-3.

[22:23]  ³⁸ tn Heb “finds.”

[22:23]  ³⁹ tn Heb “lies with.”

[28:62]  ⁴⁰ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[28:62]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “have not listened to the voice of.”

[31:13]  ⁴² 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”).

[8:18]  ⁴³ 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.

[22:17]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “they will spread the garment.”

[22:21]  ⁴⁵ tn The Hebrew term נְבָלָה (nÿvalah) means more than just something stupid. It refers to a moral lapse so serious as to jeopardize the whole covenant community (cf. Gen 34:7; Judg 19:23; 20:6, 10; Jer 29:23). See C. Pan, NIDOTTE 3:11-13. Cf. NAB “she committed a crime against Israel.”

[22:21]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “burn.” See note on Deut 21:21.
