Deuteronomy 6:24

6:24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these statutes and to revere him ¹  so that it may always go well for us and he may preserve us, as he has to this day.

Deuteronomy 8:18

8:18 You must remember the Lord your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, ²  even as he has to this day.

Ezra 9:7

9:7 From the days of our fathers until this very day our guilt has been great. Because of our iniquities we, along with our kings and ³  priests, have been delivered over by the local kings ⁴  to sword, captivity, plunder, and embarrassment – right up to the present time.

Daniel 9:7

9:7 “You are righteous, ⁵  O Lord, but we are humiliated this day ⁶  – the people ⁷  of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.

¹ tn Heb “the Lord our God.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.

² tc Smr and Lucian add “Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” the standard way of rendering this almost stereotypical formula (cf. Deut 1:8; 6:10; 9:5, 27; 29:13; 30:20; 34:4). The MT’s harder reading presumptively argues for its originality, however.

³ tc The MT lacks “and” here, but see the LXX and Vulgate.

⁴ tn Heb “the kings of the lands.”

⁵ tn Heb “to you (belongs) righteousness.”

⁶ tn Heb “and to us (belongs) shame of face like this day.”

⁷ tn Heb “men.”
