Ulangan 5:31

5:31 But as for you, remain here with me so I can declare to you all the commandments, ¹  statutes, and ordinances that you are to teach them, so that they can carry them out in the land I am about to give them.” ² 

Ulangan 28:15

Curses as Reversal of Blessings

28:15 “But if you ignore ³  the Lord your God and are not careful to keep all his commandments and statutes I am giving you today, then all these curses will come upon you in full force: ⁴ 

[5:31]  ¹ tn Heb “commandment.” The MT actually has the singular (הַמִּצְוָה, hammitsvah), suggesting perhaps that the following terms (חֻקִּים [khuqqim] and מִשְׁפָּטִים [mishpatim]) are in epexegetical apposition to “commandment.” That is, the phrase could be translated “the entire command, namely, the statutes and ordinances.” This would essentially make מִצְוָה (mitsvah) synonymous with תּוֹרָה (torah), the usual term for the whole collection of law.

[5:31]  ² tn Heb “to possess it” (so KJV, ASV); NLT “as their inheritance.”

[28:15]  ³ tn Heb “do not hear the voice of.”

[28:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “and overtake you” (so NIV, NRSV); NAB, NLT “and overwhelm you.”
