The Death of Moses

34:1 Then Moses ascended from the deserts of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the summit of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. ³²  The Lord showed him the whole land – Gilead to Dan,

[1:7]  ¹ tn Heb “turn”; NAB “Leave here”; NIV, TEV “Break camp.”

[1:7]  ² tn Heb “go (to).”

[1:7]  ³ tn Heb “its dwelling places.”

[1:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Arabah” (so ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[1:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “lowlands” (so TEV) or “steppes”; NIV, CEV, NLT “the western foothills.”

[1:7]  ⁶ sn The Hebrew term Negev means literally “desert” or “south” (so KJV, ASV). It refers to the area south of Beer Sheba and generally west of the Arabah Valley between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba.

[2:5]  ⁷ sn Mount Seir is synonymous with Edom.

[3:20]  ¹³ tn The words “you must fight” are not present in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[3:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “gives your brothers rest.”

[9:21]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “your sin.” This is a metonymy in which the effect (sin) stands for the cause (the metal calf).

[9:21]  ²⁰ tn Heb “burned it with fire.”

[10:8]  ²⁵ sn The Lord set apart the tribe of Levi. This was not the initial commissioning of the tribe of Levi to this ministry (cf. Num 3:11-13; 8:12-26), but with Aaron’s death it seemed appropriate to Moses to reiterate Levi’s responsibilities. There is no reference in the Book of Numbers to this having been done, but the account of Eleazar’s succession to the priesthood there (Num 20:25-28) would provide a setting for this to have occurred.

[10:8]  ²⁶ sn To formulate blessings. The most famous example of this is the priestly “blessing formula” of Num 6:24-26.

[11:4]  ³¹ tn Heb “Reed Sea.” “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.

[11:4]  ³² tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:4]  ³³ tn Heb “and the Lord destroyed them to this day” (cf. NRSV); NLT “he has kept them devastated to this very day.” The translation uses the verb “annihilated” to indicate the permanency of the action.

[19:15]  ³⁷ tn Heb “rise up” (likewise in v. 16).

[19:15]  ³⁸ tn Heb “may stand.”

[20:20]  ⁴³ tn Heb “however, a tree which you know is not a tree for food you may destroy and cut down.”

[20:20]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “[an] enclosure.” The term מָצוֹר (matsor) may refer to encircling ditches or to surrounding stagings. See R. de Vaux, Ancient Israel, 238.

[22:2]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “your brother” (also later in this verse).

[22:2]  ⁵⁰ tn Heb “is not.” The idea of “residing” is implied.

[22:2]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “and you do not know him.”

[22:2]  ⁵² tn Heb “it”; the referent (the ox or sheep mentioned in v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:20]  ⁵⁵ tn Heb “the curse, the confusion, and the rebuke” (NASB and NIV similar); NRSV “disaster, panic, and frustration.”

[28:20]  ⁵⁶ tn Heb “in all the stretching out of your hand.”

[28:20]  ⁵⁷ tc For the MT first person common singular suffix (“me”), the LXX reads either “Lord” (Lucian) or third person masculine singular suffix (“him”; various codices). The MT’s more difficult reading probably represents the original text.

[28:45]  ⁶¹ tn Heb “commanded”; NAB, NIV, TEV “he gave you.”

[28:48]  ⁶⁷ tn Heb “lack of everything.”

[28:48]  ⁶⁸ tn Heb “he” (also later in this verse). The pronoun is a collective singular referring to the enemies (cf. CEV, NLT). Many translations understand the singular pronoun to refer to the Lord (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, TEV).

[28:52]  ⁷³ tn Heb “gates,” also in vv. 55, 57.

[34:1]  ⁷⁹ sn For the geography involved, see note on the term “Pisgah” in Deut 3:17.
