[8:5]  ¹ tn Heb “just as a man disciplines his son.” The Hebrew text reflects the patriarchal idiom of the culture.

[8:6]  ² tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[8:6]  ³ tn Heb “by walking in his ways.” The “ways” of the Lord refer here to his moral standards as reflected in his commandments. The verb “walk” is used frequently in the Bible (both OT and NT) for one’s moral and ethical behavior.

[11:1]  ⁴ tn This collocation of technical terms for elements of the covenant text lends support to its importance and also signals a new section of paraenesis in which Moses will exhort Israel to covenant obedience. The Hebrew term מִשְׁמָרוֹת (mishmarot, “obligations”) sums up the three terms that follow – חֻקֹּת (khuqot), מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishppatim), and מִצְוֹת (mitsot).

[13:14]  ⁵ tc Theodotian adds “in Israel,” perhaps to broaden the matter beyond the local village.

[14:22]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “be certain.”

[14:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “bind the silver in your hand.”

[16:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “the seven weeks.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:13]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew phrase חַג הַסֻּכֹּת (khag hassukot, “festival of huts” or “festival of shelters”) is traditionally known as the Feast of Tabernacles. The rendering “booths” (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV) is now preferable to the traditional “tabernacles” (KJV, ASV, NIV) in light of the meaning of the term סֻכָּה (sukkah, “hut; booth”), but “booths” are frequently associated with trade shows and craft fairs in contemporary American English. Clearer is the English term “shelters” (so NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT), but this does not reflect the temporary nature of the living arrangement. This feast was a commemoration of the wanderings of the Israelites after they left Egypt, suggesting that a translation like “temporary shelters” is more appropriate.

[16:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “when you gather in your threshing-floor and winepress.”

[18:8]  ¹¹ tn Presumably this would not refer to a land inheritance, since that was forbidden to the descendants of Levi (v. 1). More likely it referred to some family possessions (cf. NIV, NCV, NRSV, CEV) or other private property (cf. NLT “a private source of income”), or even support sent by relatives (cf. TEV “whatever his family sends him”).

[20:9]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text includes “to the people,” but this phrase has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[20:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “princes of hosts.”

[20:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to your hands.”

[21:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “surrounding the slain [one].”

[21:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “slain [one].”

[21:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “wadi,” a seasonal watercourse through a valley.

[22:7]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “be sure.”

[23:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “evil.” The context makes clear that this is a matter of ritual impurity, not moral impurity, so it is “evil” in the sense that it disbars one from certain religious activity.

[25:2]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and it will be.”

[25:2]  ²¹ tn Heb “if the evil one is a son of smiting.”

[25:2]  ²² tn Heb “according to his wickedness, by number.”

[27:4]  ²³ tc Smr reads “Mount Gerizim” for the MT reading “Mount Ebal” to justify the location of the Samaritan temple there in the postexilic period. This reading is patently self-serving and does not reflect the original. In the NT when the Samaritan woman of Sychar referred to “this mountain” as the place of worship for her community she obviously had Gerizim in mind (cf. John 4:20).

[27:20]  ²⁴ tn Heb “who lies with” (so NASB, NRSV); also in vv. 22, 23. This is a Hebrew idiom for having sexual relations (cf. NIV “who sleeps with”; NLT “who has sexual intercourse with”).

[27:20]  ²⁵ tn See note at Deut 22:30.

[27:20]  ²⁶ tn Heb “he uncovers his father’s skirt” (NASB similar). See note at Deut 22:30.

[31:11]  ²⁷ tn Heb “before all Israel.”
