Deuteronomy 1:8

1:8 Look! I have already given the land to you. ¹  Go, occupy the territory that I, ²  the Lord, promised ³  to give to your ancestors ⁴  Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants.” ⁵ 

Deuteronomy 9:23

9:23 And when he ⁶  sent you from Kadesh-Barnea and told you, “Go up and possess the land I have given you,” you rebelled against the Lord your God ⁷  and would neither believe nor obey him.

¹ tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

² tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.

³ tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.

⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).

⁵ tn Heb “their seed after them.”

⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

⁷ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord your God,” that is, against the commandment that he had spoken.
