16:1 Observe the month Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for in that month he brought you out of Egypt by night. 16:2 You must sacrifice the Passover animal (from the flock or the herd) to the Lord your God in the place where he chooses to locate his name.

Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Deu 16:1

² tn Heb “in the month Abib.” The demonstrative “that” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

NET Notes: Deu 16:2

¹ tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.
