Deuteronomy 1:30

1:30 The Lord your God is about to go ¹  ahead of you; he will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt ² 

Deuteronomy 4:3

4:3 You have witnessed what the Lord did at Baal Peor, ³  how he ⁴  eradicated from your midst everyone who followed Baal Peor. ⁵ 

¹ tn The Hebrew participle indicates imminent future action here, though some English versions treat it as a predictive future (“will go ahead of you,” NCV; cf. also TEV, CEV).

² tn Heb “according to all which he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.”

³ tc The LXX and Syriac read “to Baal Peor,” that is, the god worshiped at that place; see note on the name “Beth Peor” in Deut 3:29.

⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

⁵ tn Or “followed the Baal of Peor” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV), referring to the pagan god Baal.
