[25:10]  ¹ tn Heb “called,” i.e., “known as.”

[25:10]  ² tn Heb “house.”

[25:10]  ³ tn Cf. NIV, NCV “The Family of the Unsandaled.”

[5:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “take up the name of the Lord your God to emptiness”; KJV “take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” The idea here is not cursing or profanity in the modern sense of these terms but rather the use of the divine Name for unholy, mundane purposes, that is, for meaningless (the Hebrew term is שָׁוְא) and empty ends. In ancient Israel this would include using the Lord’s name as a witness in vows one did not intend to keep.

[5:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “who takes up his name to emptiness.”

[12:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[12:5]  ⁸ tc Some scholars, on the basis of v. 11, emend the MT reading שִׁכְנוֹ (shikhno, “his residence”) to the infinitive construct לְשָׁכֵן (lÿshakhen, “to make [his name] to dwell”), perhaps with the 3rd person masculine singular sf לְשַׁכְּנוֹ (lÿshakÿno, “to cause it to dwell”). Though the presupposed nounשֵׁכֶן (shekhen) is nowhere else attested, the parallel here with שַׁמָּה (shammah, “there”) favors retaining the MT as it stands.

[16:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

[25:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “and it will be that.”

[25:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the firstborn.” This refers to the oldest male child.

[3:14]  ¹⁶ sn Geshurites. Geshur was a city and its surrounding area somewhere northeast of Bashan (cf. Josh 12:5 ; 13:11, 13). One of David’s wives was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur and mother of Absalom (cf. 2 Sam 13:37; 15:8; 1 Chr 3:2).

[3:14]  ¹⁷ sn Maacathites. These were the people of a territory southwest of Mount Hermon on the Jordan River. The name probably has nothing to do with David’s wife from Geshur (see note on “Geshurites” earlier in this verse).

[3:14]  ¹⁸ sn Havvoth-Jair. The Hebrew name means “villages of Jair,” the latter being named after a son (i.e., descendant) of Manasseh who took the area by conquest.

[12:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and it will be (to) the place where the Lord your God chooses to cause his name to dwell you will bring.”

[12:11]  ²⁰ tn Heb “heave offerings of your hand.”

[12:11]  ²¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ²² tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ²³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ²⁴ tn Heb “gates” (so KJV, NASB); NAB “in your own community.”

[14:23]  ²⁵ tn This refers to wine in the early stages of fermentation. In its later stages it becomes wine (יַיִן, yayin) in its mature sense.

[14:24]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 14:2.

[14:24]  ²⁹ tn The Hebrew text includes “way is so far from you that you are unable to carry it because the.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because they are redundant.

[16:6]  ³¹ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ³² tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”

[16:6]  ³³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:11]  ³⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:11]  ³⁵ tn Heb “gates.”

[26:2]  ³⁷ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[26:2]  ³⁸ sn The place where he chooses to locate his name. This is a circumlocution for the central sanctuary, first the tabernacle and later the Jerusalem temple. See Deut 12:1-14 and especially the note on the word “you” in v. 14.

[29:20]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “the wrath of the Lord and his zeal.” The expression is a hendiadys, a figure in which the second noun becomes adjectival to the first.

[29:20]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “smoke,” or “smolder.”

[29:20]  ⁴² tn Heb “the entire oath.”

[29:20]  ⁴³ tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”

[29:20]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “blot out his name from under the sky.”
