17:16 Moreover, he must not accumulate horses for himself or allow the people to return to Egypt to do so, 1 for the Lord has said you must never again return that way.
17:17 Furthermore, he must not marry many 2 wives lest his affections turn aside, and he must not accumulate much silver and gold.
1 tnHeb “in order to multiply horses.” The translation uses “do so” in place of “multiply horses” to avoid redundancy (cf. NAB, NIV).
2 tnHeb “must not multiply” (cf. KJV, NASB); NLT “must not take many.”
