Deuteronomy 3:14

3:14 Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites ¹  and Maacathites ²  (namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair, ³  which it retains to this very day.)

Deuteronomy 10:8

Deuteronomy 12:21

12:21 If the place he ⁹  chooses to locate his name is too far for you, you may slaughter any of your herd and flock he ¹⁰  has given you just as I have stipulated; you may eat them in your villages ¹¹  just as you wish.

Deuteronomy 18:22

18:22 whenever a prophet speaks in my ²⁰  name and the prediction ²¹  is not fulfilled, ²²  then I have ²³  not spoken it; ²⁴  the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.”

Deuteronomy 21:5

Deuteronomy 22:19

Deuteronomy 25:7

25:7 But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, then she ³⁴  must go to the elders at the town gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel; he is unwilling to perform the duty of a brother-in-law to me!”

[3:14]  ¹ 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]  ² 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]  ³ 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.

[10:8]  ⁴ sn The Lord set apart the tribe of Levi. This was not the initial commissioning of the tribe of Levi to this ministry (cf. Num 3:11-13; 8:12-26), but with Aaron’s death it seemed appropriate to Moses to reiterate Levi’s responsibilities. There is no reference in the Book of Numbers to this having been done, but the account of Eleazar’s succession to the priesthood there (Num 20:25-28) would provide a setting for this to have occurred.

[10:8]  ⁵ sn To formulate blessings. The most famous example of this is the priestly “blessing formula” of Num 6:24-26.

[12:11]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Heb “heave offerings of your hand.”

[12:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

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

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

[14:23]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 14:2.

[14:24]  ¹⁷ 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]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ²⁰ 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]  ²¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:11]  ²² tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:11]  ²³ tn Heb “gates.”

[18:22]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the Lord’s.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ²⁶ tn Heb “the word,” but a predictive word is in view here. Cf. NAB “his oracle.”

[18:22]  ²⁷ tn Heb “does not happen or come to pass.”

[18:22]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the Lord has.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ²⁹ tn Heb “that is the word which the Lord has not spoken.”

[21:5]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the priests, the sons of Levi.”

[21:5]  ²⁹ tn Heb “in the name of the Lord.” See note on Deut 10:8. The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[21:5]  ³⁰ tn Heb “by their mouth.”

[21:5]  ³¹ tn Heb “every controversy and every blow.”

[22:14]  ³¹ tn Heb “deeds of things”; NRSV “makes up charges against her”; NIV “slanders her.”

[22:14]  ³² tn Heb “brings against her a bad name”; NIV “gives her a bad name.”

[22:14]  ³³ tn Heb “drew near to her.” This is another Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations.

[22:19]  ³⁴ tn Heb “for he”; the referent (the man who made the accusation) has been specified in the translation to avoid confusion with the young woman’s father, the last-mentioned male.

[22:19]  ³⁵ tn Heb “brought forth a bad name.”

[25:7]  ³⁷ tn Heb “want to take his sister-in-law, then his sister in law.” In the second instance the pronoun (“she”) has been used in the translation to avoid redundancy.

[26:2]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[26:2]  ⁴¹ 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.

[28:58]  ⁴³ tn Heb “If you are not careful to do.”

[29:20]  ⁴⁶ 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]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “smoke,” or “smolder.”

[29:20]  ⁴⁸ tn Heb “the entire oath.”

[29:20]  ⁴⁹ tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”

[29:20]  ⁵⁰ tn Heb “blot out his name from under the sky.”
