Ulangan 8:5-6

8:5 Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child, ¹  the Lord your God disciplines you. 8:6 So you must keep his ²  commandments, live according to his standards, ³  and revere him.

[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.
