Deuteronomy 2:5

2:5 Do not be hostile toward them, because I am not giving you any of their land, not even a footprint, for I have given Mount Seir ⁶  as an inheritance for Esau.

Deuteronomy 2:9

3:20 You must fight ¹⁰  until the Lord gives your countrymen victory ¹¹  as he did you and they take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan River. Then each of you may return to his own territory that I have given you.”

11:17 Then the anger of the Lord will erupt ¹²  against you and he will close up the sky ¹³  so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed ¹⁴  from the good land that the Lord ¹⁵  is about to give you.

[1:8]  ¹ tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

[1:8]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.

[1:8]  ³ tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.

[1:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).

[1:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “their seed after them.”

[2:5]  ⁶ sn Mount Seir is synonymous with Edom.

[2:9]  ¹¹ sn Ar was a Moabite city on the Arnon River east of the Dead Sea. It is mentioned elsewhere in the “Book of the Wars of Yahweh” (Num 21:15; cf. 21:28; Isa 15:1). Here it is synonymous with the whole land of Moab.

[2:9]  ¹² sn The descendants of Lot. Following the destruction of the cities of the plain, Sodom and Gomorrah, as God’s judgment, Lot fathered two sons by his two daughters, namely, Moab and Ammon (Gen 19:30-38). Thus, these descendants of Lot in and around Ar were the Moabites.

[2:19]  ¹⁶ sn Lot’s descendants. See note on this phrase in Deut 2:9.

[3:20]  ²¹ tn The words “you must fight” are not present in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:17]  ²⁶ tn Heb “will become hot”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “will be kindled”; NAB “will flare up”; NIV, NLT “will burn.”

[11:17]  ²⁷ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[11:17]  ²⁸ tn Or “be destroyed”; NAB, NIV “will soon perish.”

[11:17]  ²⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 11:4.
