¹tn Heb “who is there of all flesh.”

²tn Heb “and Moses called to all Israel and he said to them”; NAB, NASB, NIV “Moses summoned (convened NRSV) all Israel.”

³tn Heb “to the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

¹⁴tn Grk “And it happened when.” The introductory phrase καὶ ἐγένετο (kai egeneto, “it happened that”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
