The Curse of Covenant Termination

28:58 “If you refuse to obey ³⁴  all the words of this law, the things written in this scroll, and refuse to fear this glorious and awesome name, the Lord your God,

[8:2]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[8:2]  ² tn Or “wilderness” (so KJV, NRSV, NLT); likewise in v. 15.

[8:19]  ³ tn Heb “if forgetting, you forget.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis; the translation indicates this with the words “at all” (cf. KJV).

[10:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “to walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV); NAB “follow his ways exactly”; NLT “to live according to his will.”

[10:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “heart and soul” or “heart and being”; NCV “with your whole being.” See note on the word “being” in Deut 6:5.

[11:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “if hearing, you will hear.” The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute to emphasize the verbal idea. The translation renders this emphasis with the word “close.”

[11:13]  ⁹ tn Again, the Hebrew term אָהַב (’ahav) draws attention to the reciprocation of divine love as a condition or sign of covenant loyalty (cf. Deut 6:5).

[11:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “heart and soul” or “heart and being.” See note on the word “being” in Deut 6:5.

[11:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.

[11:22]  ¹² tn Heb “commanding you to do it.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation and “to do it” has been left untranslated.

[11:22]  ¹³ tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”

[11:28]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “do not listen to,” that is, do not obey.

[11:28]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:28]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “am commanding” (so NASB, NRSV).

[11:28]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “walk after”; NIV “by following”; NLT “by worshiping.” This is a violation of the first commandment, the most serious of the covenant violations (Deut 5:6-7).

[12:18]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:18]  ¹⁹ tn See note at Deut 12:12.

[12:18]  ²⁰ tn Heb “in all the sending forth of your hands.”

[16:6]  ²¹ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ²² tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”

[16:6]  ²³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[22:2]  ²⁴ tn Heb “your brother” (also later in this verse).

[22:2]  ²⁵ tn Heb “is not.” The idea of “residing” is implied.

[22:2]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and you do not know him.”

[22:2]  ²⁷ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the ox or sheep mentioned in v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:1]  ²⁸ tn Heb “nakedness of a thing.” The Hebrew phrase עֶרְוַת דָּבָר (’ervat davar) refers here to some gross sexual impropriety (see note on “indecent” in Deut 23:14). Though the term usually has to do only with indecent exposure of the genitals, it can also include such behavior as adultery (cf. Lev 18:6-18; 20:11, 17, 20-21; Ezek 22:10; 23:29; Hos 2:10).

[25:7]  ²⁹ tn Heb “want to take his sister-in-law, then his sister in law.” In the second instance the pronoun (“she”) has been used in the translation to avoid redundancy.

[28:1]  ³⁰ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “indeed.”

[28:1]  ³¹ tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you today” (likewise in v. 15).

[28:15]  ³² tn Heb “do not hear the voice of.”

[28:15]  ³³ tn Heb “and overtake you” (so NIV, NRSV); NAB, NLT “and overwhelm you.”

[28:58]  ³⁴ tn Heb “If you are not careful to do.”
