Deuteronomy 4:5

4:5 Look! I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the Lord my God told me to do, so that you might carry them out in ¹  the land you are about to enter and possess.

Deuteronomy 12:8-9

Deuteronomy 16:5-9

16:5 You may not sacrifice the Passover in just any of your villages ⁴  that the Lord your God is giving you, 16:6 but you must sacrifice it ⁵  in the evening in ⁶  the place where he ⁷  chooses to locate his name, at sunset, the time of day you came out of Egypt. 16:7 You must cook ⁸  and eat it in the place the Lord your God chooses; you may return the next morning to your tents. 16:8 You must eat bread made without yeast for six days. The seventh day you are to hold an assembly for the Lord your God; you must not do any work on that day. ⁹

Joshua 5:10-12

5:10 So the Israelites camped in Gilgal and celebrated the Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho. ¹¹  5:11 They ate some of the produce of the land the day after the Passover, including unleavened bread and roasted grain. ¹²  5:12 The manna stopped appearing the day they ate ¹³  some of the produce of the land; the Israelites never ate manna again. ¹⁴

[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “in the midst of” (so ASV).

[12:8]  ² tn Heb “a man.”

[12:9]  ³ tn Heb “rest.”

[16:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “gates.”

[16:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ⁶ tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”

[16:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:7]  ⁸ tn The rules that governed the Passover meal are found in Exod 12:1-51, and Deut 16:1-8. The word translated “cook” (בָּשַׁל, bashal) here is translated “boil” in other places (e.g. Exod 23:19, 1 Sam 2:13-15). This would seem to contradict Exod 12:9 where the Israelites are told not to eat the Passover sacrifice raw or boiled. However, 2 Chr 35:13 recounts the celebration of a Passover feast during the reign of Josiah, and explains that the people “cooked (בָּשַׁל, bashal) the Passover sacrifices over the open fire.” The use of בָּשַׁל (bashal) with “fire” (אֵשׁ, ’esh) suggests that the word could be used to speak of boiling or roasting.

[16:8]  ⁹ tn The words “on that day” are not in the Hebrew text; they are supplied in the translation for clarification (cf. TEV, NLT).

[16:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the seven weeks.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[5:10]  ¹¹ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[5:11]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text adds, “on this same day.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.

[5:12]  ¹³ tn Heb “the day after, when they ate.” The present translation assumes this means the day after the Passover, though it is possible it refers to the day after they began eating the land’s produce.

[5:12]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel had no more manna.”

[105:44]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and the [product of the] work of peoples they possessed.”

[105:45]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “guard.”
