Deuteronomy 4:12

4:12 Then the Lord spoke to you from the middle of the fire; you heard speech but you could not see anything – only a voice was heard. ¹ 

Deuteronomy 1:36

1:36 The exception is Caleb son of Jephunneh; ²  he will see it and I will give him and his descendants the territory on which he has walked, because he has wholeheartedly followed me.” ³ 

[4:12]  ¹ tn The words “was heard” are supplied in the translation to avoid the impression that the voice was seen.

[1:36]  ² sn Caleb had, with Joshua, brought back to Israel a minority report from Canaan urging a conquest of the land, for he was confident of the Lord’s power (Num 13:6, 8, 16, 30; 14:30, 38).

[1:36]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“me”) has been employed in the translation, since it sounds strange to an English reader for the Lord to speak about himself in third person.
