Exodus 19:17

Deuteronomy 31:12

31:12 Gather the people – men, women, and children, as well as the resident foreigners in your villages – so they may hear and thus learn about and fear the Lord your God and carefully obey all the words of this law.

Deuteronomy 31:1

Succession of Moses by Joshua

31:1 Then Moses went ¹  and spoke these words ²  to all Israel.

Deuteronomy 15:3

15:3 You may exact payment from a foreigner, but whatever your fellow Israelite ³  owes you, you must remit.

Deuteronomy 15:2

15:2 This is the nature of the cancellation: Every creditor must remit what he has loaned to another person; ⁴  he must not force payment from his fellow Israelite, ⁵  for it is to be recognized as “the Lord’s cancellation of debts.”

Deuteronomy 5:2-3

5:2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 5:3 He ⁶  did not make this covenant with our ancestors ⁷  but with us, we who are here today, all of us living now.

Nehemiah 8:1

8:1 all the people gathered together ⁸  in the plaza which was in front of the Water Gate. They asked ⁹  Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses which the LORD had commanded Israel.

¹ tc For the MT reading וַיֵּלֶךְ (vayyelekh, “he went”), the LXX and Qumran have וַיְכַל (vaykhal, “he finished”): “So Moses finished speaking,” etc. The difficult reading of the MT favors its authenticity.

² tn In the MT this refers to the words that follow (cf. NIV, NCV).

³ tn Heb “your brother.”

⁴ tn Heb “his neighbor,” used idiomatically to refer to another person.

⁵ tn Heb “his neighbor and his brother.” The words “his brother” may be a scribal gloss identifying “his neighbor” (on this idiom, see the preceding note) as a fellow Israelite (cf. v. 3). In this case the conjunction before “his brother” does not introduce a second category, but rather has the force of “that is.”

⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

⁷ tn Heb “fathers.”

⁸ tn Heb “like one man.”

⁹ tn Heb “said [to].”
