Deuteronomy 24:19

¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 14:2.

² tn The Hebrew text includes “way is so far from you that you are unable to carry it because the.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because they are redundant.

³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “by all means.”

⁴ tc Heb “your heart must not be grieved in giving to him.” The LXX and Orig add, “you shall surely lend to him sufficient for his need,” a suggestion based on the same basic idea in v. 8. Such slavish adherence to stock phrases is without warrant in most cases, and certainly here.

⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

⁷ tn Heb “in all the work of your hands” (so NASB, NIV); NAB, NRSV “in all your undertakings.”

⁷ tn Heb “in the field.”

⁸ tn Heb “of your hands.” This law was later applied in the story of Ruth who, as a poor widow, was allowed by generous Boaz to glean in his fields (Ruth 2:1-13).
