Deuteronomy 12:31

[2:12]  ¹ sn Horites. Most likely these are the same as the well-known people of ancient Near Eastern texts described as Hurrians. They were geographically widespread and probably non-Semitic. Genesis speaks of them as the indigenous peoples of Edom that Esau expelled (Gen 36:8-19, 31-43) and also as among those who confronted the kings of the east (Gen 14:6).

[2:12]  ² tn Most modern English versions, beginning with the ASV (1901), regard vv. 10-12 as parenthetical to the narrative.

[9:12]  ³ tc Heb “a casting.” The MT reads מַסֵּכָה (massekhah, “a cast thing”) but some mss and Smr add עֵגֶל (’egel, “calf”), “a molten calf” or the like (Exod 32:8). Perhaps Moses here omits reference to the calf out of contempt for it.

[12:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “you must not do thus to/for the Lord your God.”

[12:31]  ⁶ tn See note on this term at Deut 7:25.

[12:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “every abomination of the Lord.” See note on the word “his” in v. 27.

[17:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “gates.”

[17:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “stone them with stones so that they die” (KJV similar); NCV “throw stones at that person until he dies.”
