[2:34]  ¹ tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

[2:34]  ² tn Heb “under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). The verb employed is חָרַם (kharam, usually in the Hiphil) and the associated noun is חֵרֶם (kherem). See J. Naudé, NIDOTTE, 2:276-77, and, for a more thorough discussion, Susan Niditch, War in the Hebrew Bible, 28-77.

[3:28]  ¹ tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

[4:22]  ¹ tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

[4:36]  ¹ tn Heb “and his words you heard from the midst of the fire.”

[5:3]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[5:3]  ² tn Heb “fathers.”

[6:24]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord our God.” See note on the word “his” in v. 17.

[19:1]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[19:8]  ¹ tn Heb “fathers.”

[19:8]  ² tn Heb “he said to give to your ancestors.” The pronoun has been used in the translation instead for stylistic reasons.

[22:1]  ¹ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

[22:1]  ² tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

[22:1]  ³ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

[22:1]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

[25:1]  ¹ tn Heb “men.”

[25:1]  ² tn Heb “they”; the referent (the judges) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:1]  ³ tn Heb “declare to be just”; KJV, NASB “justify the righteous”; NAB, NIV “acquitting the innocent.”

[25:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “declare to be evil”; NIV “condemning the guilty (+ party NAB).”

[26:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 26:2.

[27:1]  ¹ tn Heb “the whole commandment.” See note at 5:31.

[27:1]  ² tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you today” (likewise in v. 10).

[27:4]  ¹ tc Smr reads “Mount Gerizim” for the MT reading “Mount Ebal” to justify the location of the Samaritan temple there in the postexilic period. This reading is patently self-serving and does not reflect the original. In the NT when the Samaritan woman of Sychar referred to “this mountain” as the place of worship for her community she obviously had Gerizim in mind (cf. John 4:20).

[27:12]  ¹ tn The word “tribes” has been supplied here and in the following verse in the translation for clarity.

[29:9]  ¹ tn Heb “words.”

[30:6]  ¹ tn Heb “circumcise” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “will give you and your descendents obedient hearts.” See note on the word “cleanse” in Deut 10:16.

[30:6]  ² tn Heb “seed” (so KJV, ASV).

[30:6]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on the second occurrence of the word “he” in v. 3.
