Deuteronomy 32:39

Context

The Vindication of the Lord

32:39 “See now that I, indeed I, am he!” says the Lord,²

“and there is no other god besides me.

I kill and give life,

I smash and I heal,

and none can resist³ my power.

[32:31] ¹tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[32:39] ²tn Verses 39-42 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:39] ³tn Heb “deliver from” (so NRSV, NLT).
