Blessing on Judah

33:7 And this is the blessing ¹³  to Judah. He said,

Listen, O Lord, to Judah’s voice,

and bring him to his people.

May his power be great,

and may you help him against his foes.

33:11 Bless, O Lord, his goods,

and be pleased with his efforts;

undercut the legs ¹⁴  of any who attack him,

and of those who hate him, so that they cannot stand.

[8:19]  ¹ tn Heb “if forgetting, you forget.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis; the translation indicates this with the words “at all” (cf. KJV).

[15:16]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the indentured servant introduced in v. 12) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:16]  ³ tn Heb “go out from.” The imperfect verbal form indicates the desire of the subject here.

[17:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “an abomination” (תּוֹעֵבָה); see note on the word “offensive” in v. 1.

[21:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “Atone for.”

[21:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “and do not place innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel.”

[22:8]  ⁷ tn Or “a parapet” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); KJV “a battlement”; NLT “a barrier.”

[22:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “that you not place bloodshed in your house.”

[22:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “lying with” (so KJV, NASB), a Hebrew idiom for sexual relations.

[22:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a woman married to a husband.”

[22:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “burn.” See note on the phrase “purge out” in Deut 21:21.

[23:10]  ¹² tn Heb “nocturnal happening.” The Hebrew term קָרֶה (qareh) merely means “to happen” so the phrase here is euphemistic (a “night happening”) for some kind of bodily emission such as excrement or semen. Such otherwise normal physical functions rendered one ritually unclean whether accidental or not. See Lev 15:16-18; 22:4.

[33:7]  ¹³ tn The words “the blessing” are supplied in the translation for clarity and stylistic reasons.

[33:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “smash the sinews [or “loins,” so many English versions].” This part of the body was considered to be center of one’s strength (cf. Job 40:16; Ps 69:24; Prov 31:17; Nah 2:2, 11). See J. H. Tigay, Deuteronomy (JPSTC), 325.
