Deuteronomy 9:25
Moses’ Plea on Behalf of the Lord’s Reputation
9:25 I lay flat on the ground before the Lord for forty days and nights, 3 for he 4 had said he would destroy you.
1 tn Heb “so you will perish.”
2 tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.
3 tn The Hebrew text includes “when I prostrated myself.” Since this is redundant, it has been left untranslated.
4 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
