1 tc Heb “in the eyes of the Lord.” The LXX adds “your God” to create the common formula, “the Lord your God.” The MT is preferred precisely because it does not include the stereotyped formula; thus it more likely preserves the original text.

2 tn Heb “upright.”

3 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.

3 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “be sure.”

4 tn Heb “commanding” (so NRSV).

5 tn The imperative here means, literally, “regard as heavy” (כַּבֵּד, kabbed). The meaning is that great importance must be ascribed to parents by their children.

6 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 5:3.

6 tn Heb “keep” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).
