[1:44]  ¹ tn Heb “in that hill country,” repeating the end of v. 43.

[1:44]  ² tn Heb “came out to meet.”

[1:44]  ³ sn Hormah is probably Khirbet el-Meshash, 5.5 mi (9 km) west of Arad and 7.5 mi (12 km) SE of Beer Sheba. Its name is a derivative of the verb חָרָם (kharam, “to ban; to exterminate”). See Num 21:3.

[4:13]  ⁴ 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).

[10:2]  ¹⁰ sn The same words. The care with which the replacement copy must be made underscores the importance of verbal precision in relaying the Lord’s commandments.

[28:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “from all the words which I am commanding.”

[28:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “in order to serve.”
