Deuteronomy 11:13

11:13 Now, if you pay close attention ¹  to my commandments that I am giving you today and love ²  the Lord your God and serve him with all your mind and being, ³ 

Deuteronomy 11:22

11:22 For if you carefully observe all of these commandments ⁴  I am giving you ⁵  and love the Lord your God, live according to his standards, ⁶  and remain loyal to him,

Deuteronomy 11:28

11:28 and the curse if you pay no attention ⁷  to his ⁸  commandments and turn from the way I am setting before ⁹  you today to pursue ¹⁰  other gods you have not known.

Deuteronomy 12:11

12:11 Then you must come to the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to reside, bringing ¹¹  everything I am commanding you – your burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, the personal offerings you have prepared, ¹²  and all your choice votive offerings which you devote to him. ¹³ 

[11:13]  ¹ tn Heb “if hearing, you will hear.” The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute to emphasize the verbal idea. The translation renders this emphasis with the word “close.”

[11:13]  ² tn Again, the Hebrew term אָהַב (’ahav) draws attention to the reciprocation of divine love as a condition or sign of covenant loyalty (cf. Deut 6:5).

[11:13]  ³ tn Heb “heart and soul” or “heart and being.” See note on the word “being” in Deut 6:5.

[11:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “this commandment.” See note at Deut 5:30.

[11:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “commanding you to do it.” For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation and “to do it” has been left untranslated.

[11:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “walk in all his ways” (so KJV, NIV); TEV “do everything he commands.”

[11:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “do not listen to,” that is, do not obey.

[11:28]  ⁸ tn Heb “the commandments of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[11:28]  ⁹ tn Heb “am commanding” (so NASB, NRSV).

[11:28]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “walk after”; NIV “by following”; NLT “by worshiping.” This is a violation of the first commandment, the most serious of the covenant violations (Deut 5:6-7).

[12:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and it will be (to) the place where the Lord your God chooses to cause his name to dwell you will bring.”

[12:11]  ¹¹ tn Heb “heave offerings of your hand.”

[12:11]  ¹² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.
