Deuteronomy 31:20

31:20 For after I have brought them ⁸  to the land I promised to their ⁹  ancestors – one flowing with milk and honey – and they ¹⁰  eat their fill ¹¹  and become fat, then they ¹²  will turn to other gods and worship them; they will reject me and break my covenant.

¹ tn Heb “Not a man among these men.”

² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

³ tn Heb “before” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, NRSV “at the head of.”

⁴ tn After the imperative these subordinated jussive forms (with prefixed vav) indicate purpose or result.

⁵ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 15, 22).

³ tn Heb “seed” (so KJV, ASV).

⁴ tn The Hebrew text includes “with your eyes,” but this is redundant in English and is left untranslated.

⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁵ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁶ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁷ tn Heb “and are satisfied.”

⁸ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁵ tn Heb “he.” Since the pronoun could be taken to refer to Moses, the referent has been specified as “the Lord” in the translation for clarity. See also the note on the word “you” later in this verse.

⁶ tc The LXX reads, “as the Lord promised them, and he will be with you.” This relieves the problem of Moses apparently promising to be with Joshua as the MT reads on the surface (“I will be with you”). However, the reading of the LXX is clearly an attempt to clarify an existing obscurity and therefore is unlikely to reflect the original.

⁶ tn Heb “Then it will come to pass that.”

⁷ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁸ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁹ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

¹⁰ tn Heb “it will not be forgotten from the mouth of his seed.”

¹¹ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

¹² tn Heb “which he is doing.”

¹³ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.
