Deuteronomy 11:8

The Abundance of the Land of Promise

11:8 Now pay attention to all the commandments ¹  I am giving ²  you today, so that you may be strong enough to enter and possess the land where you are headed, ³ 

Deuteronomy 11:22

11:22 For if you carefully observe all of these commandments ⁴  I am giving you ⁵  and love the Lord your God, live according to his standards, ⁶  and remain loyal to him,

¹ tn Heb “the commandment.” The singular מִצְוָה (mitsvah, “commandment”) speaks here as elsewhere of the whole corpus of covenant stipulations in Deuteronomy (cf. 6:1, 25; 7:11; 8:1).

² tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB, NRSV). For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation (likewise in vv. 13, 27).

³ tn Heb “which you are crossing over there to possess it.”

⁴ tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.

⁵ tn Heb “commanding you to do it.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation and “to do it” has been left untranslated.

⁶ tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”
