Deuteronomy 1:27

1:27 You complained among yourselves privately ¹  and said, “Because the Lord hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us!

Deuteronomy 16:6

16:6 but you must sacrifice it ²  in the evening in ³  the place where he ⁴  chooses to locate his name, at sunset, the time of day you came out of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 32:13

32:13 He enabled him ⁵  to travel over the high terrain of the land,

and he ate of the produce of the fields.

He provided honey for him from the cliffs, ⁶ 

and olive oil ⁷  from the hardest of ⁸  rocks, ⁹ 

[1:27]  ¹ tn Heb “in your tents,” that is, privately.

[16:6]  ² tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[32:13]  ³ tn The form of the suffix on this verbal form indicates that the verb is a preterite, not an imperfect. As such it simply states the action factually. Note as well the preterites with vav (ו) consecutive that follow in the verse.

[32:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “he made him suck honey from the rock.”

[32:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “oil,” but this probably refers to olive oil; see note on the word “rock” at the end of this verse.

[32:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “flinty.”

[32:13]  ⁷ sn Olive oil from rock probably suggests olive trees growing on rocky ledges and yet doing so productively. See E. H. Merrill, Deuteronomy (NAC), 415; cf. TEV “their olive trees flourished in stony ground.”
