Deuteronomy 18:12

18:12 Whoever does these things is abhorrent to the Lord and because of these detestable things ⁶  the Lord your God is about to drive them out ⁷  from before you.

[2:25]  ¹ tn Heb “under heaven” (so NIV, NRSV).

[2:25]  ² tn Heb “from before you.”

[4:38]  ³ tn Heb “(as) an inheritance,” that is, landed property that one can pass on to one’s descendants.

[7:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 7:19.

[12:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “dwell in their land” (so NASB). In the Hebrew text vv. 29-30 are one long sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides it into two.

[18:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “these abhorrent things.” The repetition is emphatic. For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the same term used earlier in the verse has been translated “detestable” here.

[18:12]  ¹⁰ tn The translation understands the Hebrew participial form as having an imminent future sense here.
