[1:11]  ¹ tn Heb “may he bless you.”

[1:30]  ² tn The Hebrew participle indicates imminent future action here, though some English versions treat it as a predictive future (“will go ahead of you,” NCV; cf. also TEV, CEV).

[1:30]  ³ tn Heb “according to all which he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.”

[4:13]  ³ sn This is the first occurrence of the word בְּרִית (bÿrit, “covenant”) in the Book of Deuteronomy but it appears commonly hereafter (4:23, 31; 5:2, 3; 7:9, 12; 8:18; 9:9, 10, 11, 15; 10:2, 4, 5, 8; 17:2; 29:1, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 21, 25; 31:9, 16, 20, 25, 26; 33:9). Etymologically, it derives from the notion of linking or yoking together. See M. Weinfeld, TDOT 2:255.

[4:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “the ten words.”

[5:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[5:33]  ⁵ tn Heb “may prolong your days”; NAB “may have long life”; TEV “will continue to live.”

[9:16]  ⁵ tn On the phrase “metal calf,” see note on the term “metal image” in v. 12.

[9:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[12:10]  ⁶ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[12:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:10]  ⁸ tn In the Hebrew text vv. 10-11 are one long, complex sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two sentences.

[14:8]  ⁷ tc The MT lacks (probably by haplography) the phrase וְשֹׁסַע שֶׁסַע פַּרְסָה (vÿshosa’ shesa’ parsah, “and is clovenfooted,” i.e., “has parted hooves”), a phrase found in the otherwise exact parallel in Lev 11:7. The LXX and Smr attest the longer reading here. The meaning is, however, clear without it.

[29:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “a heart to know, eyes to see and ears to hear” (NASB similar); NAB, NRSV “a mind to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear.”
