[1:35]  ¹ tn Heb “Not a man among these men.”

[4:25]  ² tn Heb “have grown old in the land,” i.e., been there for a long time.

[4:25]  ³ tn Heb “a form of anything.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, TEV “an idol.”

[4:25]  ⁴ tn The infinitive construct is understood here as indicating the result, not the intention, of their actions.

[13:11]  ³ sn Some see in this statement an argument for the deterrent effect of capital punishment (Deut 17:13; 19:20; 21:21).

[15:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “any evil blemish”; NASB “any (+ other NAB, TEV) serious defect.”

[17:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “to the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[17:1]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “an abomination”; cf. NAB) describes persons, things, or practices offensive to ritual or moral order. See M. Grisanti, NIDOTTE 4:314-18; see also the note on the word “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25.

[17:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “the hand of the witnesses.” This means the two or three witnesses are to throw the first stones (cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

[17:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “the hand of all the people.”

[21:21]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew term בִּעַרְתָּה (bi’artah), here and elsewhere in such contexts (cf. Deut 13:5; 17:7, 12; 19:19; 21:9), suggests God’s anger which consumes like fire (thus בָעַר, ba’ar, “to burn”). See H. Ringgren, TDOT 2:203-4.

[21:21]  ⁸ tc Some LXX traditions read הַנִּשְׁאָרִים (hannish’arim, “those who remain”) for the MT’s יִשְׂרָאֵל (yisra’el, “Israel”), understandable in light of Deut 19:20. However, the more difficult reading found in the MT is more likely original.

[24:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “from his brothers, from the sons of Israel.” The terms “brothers” and “sons of Israel” are in apposition; the second defines the first more specifically.

[24:7]  ⁹ tn Or “and enslaves him.”

[24:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “that thief.”

[24:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “burn.” See note on the word “purge” in Deut 19:19.

[29:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “set him apart.”

[29:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “for evil”; NAB “for doom”; NASB “for adversity”; NIV “for disaster”; NRSV “for calamity.”

[31:18]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “certainly.”

[31:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.
