Deuteronomy 2:36

Deuteronomy 24:7

¹ sn Aroer. Now known as àAraáir on the northern edge of the Arnon river, Aroer marked the southern limit of Moab and, later, of the allotment of the tribe of Reuben (Josh 13:9, 16).

² tn Heb “the city in the wadi.” This enigmatic reference may refer to Ar or, more likely, to Aroer itself. Epexegetically the text might read, “From Aroer…, that is, the city in the wadi.” See D. L. Christensen, Deuteronomy 1–11 (WBC), 49.

³ tn Heb “slain [one].” The term חָלָל (khalal) suggests something other than a natural death (cf. Num 19:16; 23:24; Jer 51:52; Ezek 26:15; 30:24; 31:17-18).

⁴ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it,” but this has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Heb “struck,” but in context a fatal blow is meant; cf. NLT “who committed the murder.”

⁵ tn Heb “from his brothers, from the sons of Israel.” The terms “brothers” and “sons of Israel” are in apposition; the second defines the first more specifically.

⁶ tn Or “and enslaves him.”

⁷ tn Heb “that thief.”

⁸ tn Heb “burn.” See note on the word “purge” in Deut 19:19.

⁷ tn Heb “besiege,” redundant with the noun “siege.”
