Deuteronomy 29:24-25

29:24 Then all the nations will ask, “Why has the Lord done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger ⁶  all about?” 29:25 Then people will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

[21:20]  ¹ tc The LXX and Smr read “to the men,” probably to conform to this phrase in v. 21. However, since judicial cases were the responsibility of the elders in such instances (cf. Deut 19:12; 21:3, 6; 25:7-8) the reading of the MT is likely original and correct here.

[27:15]  ² tn Heb “man,” but in a generic sense here.

[27:15]  ³ tn The Hebrew term translated here “abhorrent” (תּוֹעֵבָה, to’evah) speaks of attitudes and/or behaviors so vile as to be reprehensible to a holy God. See note on the word “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25.

[27:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “craftsman’s hands.”

[27:15]  ⁵ tn Or “So be it!” The term is an affirmation expressing agreement with the words of the Levites.

[29:24]  ³ tn Heb “this great burning of anger”; KJV “the heat of this great anger.”
