¹ tn Heb “your neighbor.” Clearly this is intended generically, however, and not to be limited only to those persons who live nearby (frequently the way “neighbor” is understood in contemporary contexts). So also in v. 20.

² tn The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “forbidden; abhorrent”) describes anything detestable to the Lord because of its innate evil or inconsistency with his own nature and character. See note on the word “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25. Cf. KJV “abominable”; NIV “detestable”; NRSV “abhorrent.”

³ tn Heb “the Lord’s.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

⁴ tn Heb “the word,” but a predictive word is in view here. Cf. NAB “his oracle.”

⁵ tn Heb “does not happen or come to pass.”

⁶ tn Heb “the Lord has.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

⁷ tn Heb “that is the word which the Lord has not spoken.”

⁴ tn The Hebrew term שַׁעַטְנֵז (sha’atnez) occurs only here and in Lev 19:19. HALOT 1610-11 s.v. takes it to be a contraction of words (שַׁשׁ [shash, “headdress”] + עַטְנַז [’atnaz, “strong”]). BDB 1043 s.v. שַׁעַטְנֵז offers the translation “mixed stuff” (cf. NEB “woven with two kinds of yarn”; NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “woven together”). The general meaning is clear even if the etymology is not.

⁵ tn Heb “an.” By implication this is one’s own animal.

⁶ tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

⁷ tn Verses 34-35 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation.
