Deuteronomy 32:44

Narrative Interlude

32:44 Then Moses went with Joshua ¹⁵  son of Nun and recited all the words of this song to the people.

[1:11]  ¹ tn Heb “may he bless you.”

[2:1]  ² tn Heb “Reed Sea.” See note on the term “Red Sea” in Deut 1:40.

[4:12]  ³ tn The words “was heard” are supplied in the translation to avoid the impression that the voice was seen.

[4:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “give great care to your souls.”

[5:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “who is there of all flesh.”

[10:9]  ⁶ sn Levi has no allotment or inheritance. As the priestly tribe, Levi would have no land allotment except for forty-eight towns set apart for their use (Num 35:1-8; Josh 21:1-42). But theirs was a far greater inheritance, for the Lord himself was their apportionment, that is, service to him would be their full-time and lifelong privilege (Num 18:20-24; Deut 18:2; Josh 13:33).

[10:9]  ⁷ tn That is, among the other Israelite tribes.

[18:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “will seek from him”; NAB “I myself will make him answer for it”; NRSV “will hold accountable.”

[18:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the prophet mentioned in v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “fathers.”

[19:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “he said to give to your ancestors.” The pronoun has been used in the translation instead for stylistic reasons.

[26:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “so that.” Verses 18-19 are one sentence in the Hebrew text, but the translation divides it into three sentences for stylistic reasons. The first clause in verse 19 gives a result of the preceding clause. When Israel keeps God’s law, God will bless them with fame and honor (cf. NAB “he will then raise you high in praise and renown and glory”; NLT “And if you do, he will make you greater than any other nation”).

[26:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “for praise and for a name and for glory.”

[26:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and to be.” A new sentence was started here for stylistic reasons.

[32:44]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Hoshea” (so KJV, ASV), another name for the same individual (cf. Num 13:8, 16).
