Deuteronomy 32:34

32:34 “Is this not stored up with me?” says the Lord, ¹ 

“Is it not sealed up in my storehouses?

Deuteronomy 11:30

11:30 Are they not across the Jordan River, ²  toward the west, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal ³  near the oak ⁴  of Moreh?

Deuteronomy 31:17

31:17 At that time ⁵  my anger will erupt against them ⁶  and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome ⁷  them ⁸  so that they ⁹  will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters ¹⁰  overcome us ¹¹  because our ¹²  God is not among us ¹³ ?’

[32:34]  ¹ tn Verses 34-35 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation.

[11:30]  ² tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:30]  ³ sn Gilgal. From a Hebrew verb root גָלַל (galal, “to roll”) this place name means “circle” or “rolling,” a name given because God had “rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you” (Josh 5:9). It is perhaps to be identified with Khirbet el-Metjir, 1.2 mi (2 km) northeast of OT Jericho.

[11:30]  ⁴ tc The MT plural “oaks” (אֵלוֹנֵי, ’eloney) should probably be altered (with many Greek texts) to the singular “oak” (אֵלוֹן, ’elon; cf. NRSV) in line with the only other occurrence of the phrase (Gen 12:6). The Syriac, Tg. Ps.-J. read mmrá, confusing this place with the “oaks of Mamre” near Hebron (Gen 13:18). Smr also appears to confuse “Moreh” with “Mamre” (reading mwr’, a combined form), adding the clarification mwl shkm (“near Shechem”) apparently to distinguish it from Mamre near Hebron.

[31:17]  ³ tn Heb “on that day.” This same expression also appears later in the verse and in v. 18.

[31:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “find,” “encounter.”

[31:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “he.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “they.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “evils.”

[31:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.

[31:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “my.”

[31:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style.
