Ulangan 6:2

6:2 and that you may so revere the Lord your God that you will keep all his statutes and commandments ¹  that I am giving ²  you – you, your children, and your grandchildren – all your lives, to prolong your days.

Mazmur 21:5

21:5 Your deliverance brings him great honor; ³ 

you give him majestic splendor. ⁴ 

[6:2]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Heb “commanding.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation.

[21:5]  ³ tn Or “great glory.”

[21:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “majesty and splendor you place upon him.” For other uses of the phrase הוֹד וְהָדָר (hod vÿhadar, “majesty and splendor”) see 1 Chr 16:27; Job 40:10; Pss 96:6; 104:1; 111:3.
