Deuteronomy 13:16

13:16 You must gather all of its plunder into the middle of the plaza ³  and burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. It will be an abandoned ruin ⁴  forever – it must never be rebuilt again.

Deuteronomy 17:16

17:16 Moreover, he must not accumulate horses for himself or allow the people to return to Egypt to do so, ⁵  for the Lord has said you must never again return that way.

Deuteronomy 18:16

[3:26]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord.” For stylistic reasons the pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation here.

[3:26]  ² tn Heb “much to you” (an idiom).

[13:16]  ³ tn Heb “street.”

[13:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “mound”; NAB “a heap of ruins.” The Hebrew word תֵּל (tel) refers to this day to a ruin represented especially by a built-up mound of dirt or debris (cf. Tel Aviv, “mound of grain”).

[17:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “in order to multiply horses.” The translation uses “do so” in place of “multiply horses” to avoid redundancy (cf. NAB, NIV).

[18:16]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text uses the collective singular in this verse: “my God…lest I die.”

[19:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “all this commandment.” This refers here to the entire covenant agreement of the Book of Deuteronomy as encapsulated in the Shema (Deut 6:4-5).

[19:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you today.”

[19:9]  ¹¹ sn You will add three more cities. Since these are alluded to nowhere else and thus were probably never added, this must be a provision for other cities of refuge should they be needed (cf. v. 8). See P. C. Craigie, Deuteronomy (NICOT), 267.

[31:2]  ¹¹ tn Or “am no longer able to lead you” (NIV, NLT); Heb “am no longer able to go out and come in.”

[31:27]  ¹³ tn Heb “stiffness of neck” (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV). See note on the word “stubborn” in Deut 9:6.

[31:27]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “How much more after my death?” The Hebrew text has a sarcastic rhetorical question here; the translation seeks to bring out the force of the question.
