Deuteronomy 26:7-8

26:7 So we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and he ⁴  heard us and saw our humiliation, toil, and oppression. 26:8 Therefore the Lord brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, ⁵  as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.

Deuteronomy 32:27

32:27 But I fear the reaction ⁶  of their enemies,

for ⁷  their adversaries would misunderstand

and say, “Our power is great, ⁸ 

and the Lord has not done all this!”’

[10:21]  ¹ tn Heb “your praise.” The pronoun is subjective and the noun “praise” is used here metonymically for the object of their praise (the Lord).

[18:5]  ² tc Smr and some Greek texts add “before the Lord your God” to bring the language into line with a formula found elsewhere (Deut 10:8; 2 Chr 29:11). This reading is not likely to be original, however.

[18:5]  ³ tn Heb “the name of the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[26:7]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 26:2.

[26:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “by a powerful hand and an extended arm.” These are anthropomorphisms designed to convey God’s tremendously great power in rescuing Israel from their Egyptian bondage. They are preserved literally in many English versions (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[32:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “anger.”

[32:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “lest.”

[32:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “Our hand is high.” Cf. NAB “Our own hand won the victory.”
