With his right hand he gave a fiery law ¹²  to them.

[9:13]  ¹ tn Heb “stiff-necked.” See note on the word “stubborn” in 9:6.

[10:11]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

[10:11]  ² tn Heb “before” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, NRSV “at the head of.”

[10:11]  ³ tn After the imperative these subordinated jussive forms (with prefixed vav) indicate purpose or result.

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 15, 22).

[32:20]  ¹ tn Heb “I will hide my face from them.”

[32:20]  ² tn Heb “sons” (so NAB, NASB); TEV “unfaithful people.”

[33:2]  ¹ tn Or “rose like the sun” (NCV, TEV).

[33:2]  ² tc Heb “to him.” The LXX reads “to us” (לָנוּ [lanu] for לָמוֹ [lamo]), the reading of the MT is acceptable since it no doubt has in mind Israel as a collective singular.

[33:2]  ³ tn Or “he shone forth” (NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[33:2]  ⁴ tc With slight alteration (מִמְרִבַת קָדֵשׁ [mimrivat qadesh] for the MT’s מֵרִבְבֹת קֹדֶשׁ [merivvot qodesh]) the translation would be “from Meribah Kadesh” (cf. NAB, NLT; see Deut 32:51). However, the language of holy war in the immediate context favors the reading of the MT, which views the Lord as accompanied by angelic hosts.

[33:2]  ⁵ tc The mispointed Hebrew term אֵשְׁדָּת (’eshdat) should perhaps be construed as אֵשְׁהַת (’eshhat) with Smr.

[33:7]  ¹ tn The words “the blessing” are supplied in the translation for clarity and stylistic reasons.

[34:4]  ¹ tn Heb “seed” (so KJV, ASV).

[34:4]  ² tn The Hebrew text includes “with your eyes,” but this is redundant in English and is left untranslated.
