22:5 But carefully obey the commands and instructions Moses the Lord’s servant gave you. Love 7  the Lord your God, follow all his instructions, 8  obey 9  his commands, be loyal to him, 10  and serve him with all your heart and being!” 11 

1 tn Heb “And we heard and our heart[s] melted and there remained no longer breath in a man because of you.”

2 tn The meaning and correct translation of the Hebrew word שְׁבָרִים (shÿvarim) is uncertain. The translation “fissures” is based on usage of the plural form of the noun in Ps 60:4 HT (60:2 ET), where it appears to refer to cracks in the earth caused by an earthquake. Perhaps deep ravines or gorges are in view, or the word is a proper noun (“all the way to Shebarim”).

3 sn The precise geographical location of the Israelite defeat at this “steep slope” is uncertain.

4 tn Or “army’s.”

5 tn Heb “and the heart of the people melted and became water.”

3 tn Heb “and I brought back to him a word just as [was] in my heart.”
