Instructions Concerning Ammon

2:16 So it was that after all the military men had been eliminated from the community, ¹ 

Deuteronomy 4:33

4:33 Have a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the middle of fire, as you yourselves have, and lived to tell about it?

Deuteronomy 5:12

5:12 Be careful to observe ²  the Sabbath day just as the Lord your God has commanded you.

5:32 Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left!

8:5 Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child, ³  the Lord your God disciplines you.

19:19 you must do to him what he had intended to do to the accused. In this way you will purge ⁶  evil from among you.

[2:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and it was when they were eliminated, all the men of war, to die from the midst of the people.”

[5:12]  ² tn Heb “to make holy,” that is, to put to special use, in this case, to sacred purposes (cf. vv. 13-15).

[8:5]  ³ tn Heb “just as a man disciplines his son.” The Hebrew text reflects the patriarchal idiom of the culture.

[18:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “he” (and throughout the verse).

[18:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “brothers,” but not referring to actual siblings. Cf. NASB “their countrymen”; NRSV “the other members of the community.”

[19:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “you will burn out” (בִּעַרְתָּ, bi’arta). Like a cancer, unavenged sin would infect the whole community. It must, therefore, be excised by the purging out of its perpetrators who, presumably, remained unrepentant (cf. Deut 13:6; 17:7, 12; 21:21; 22:21-22, 24; 24:7).
