[4:14]  ¹ tn Heb “to which you are crossing over to possess it.”

[4:22]  ² tn Heb “this.” The translation uses “that” to avoid confusion; earlier in the verse Moses refers to Transjordan as “this land.”

[4:25]  ³ tn Heb “have grown old in the land,” i.e., been there for a long time.

[4:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “a form of anything.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, TEV “an idol.”

[4:25]  ⁵ tn The infinitive construct is understood here as indicating the result, not the intention, of their actions.

[5:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “an image, any likeness.”

[5:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “under the earth” (so ASV, NASB, NRSV); NCV “below the land.”

[5:33]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[5:33]  ⁶ tn Heb “may prolong your days”; NAB “may have long life”; TEV “will continue to live.”

[6:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “commandment.” The word מִצְוָה (mitsvah) again is in the singular, serving as a comprehensive term for the whole stipulation section of the book. See note on the word “commandments” in 5:31.

[6:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “where you are going over to possess it” (so NASB); NRSV “that you are about to cross into and occupy.”

[11:30]  ⁷ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:30]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ 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.

[12:10]  ⁸ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[12:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:10]  ¹⁰ tn In the Hebrew text vv. 10-11 are one long, complex sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two sentences.

[15:4]  ⁹ tc After the phrase “the Lord” many mss and versions add “your God” to complete the usual full epithet.

[15:4]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “surely.” Note however, that the use is rhetorical, for the next verse attaches a condition.

[15:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[15:4]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess.”

[19:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “border.” Cf. NRSV “You must not move your neighbor’s boundary marker.”

[19:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “which they set off from the beginning.”

[19:14]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it.” This phrase has been left untranslated to avoid redundancy.

[28:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” Because English would not typically reintroduce the proper name following a relative pronoun (“he will bless…the Lord your God is giving”), the pronoun (“he”) has been employed here in the translation.

[29:27]  ¹² tn Heb “the entire curse.”

[34:6]  ¹³ tc Smr and some LXX mss read “they buried him,” that is, the Israelites. The MT reads “he buried him,” meaning in the context that “the Lord buried him.” This understanding, combined with the statement at the end of the verse that Moses’ burial place is unknown, gave rise to traditions during the intertestamental period that are reflected in the NT in Jude 9 and in OT pseudepigraphic works like the Assumption of Moses.

[34:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to,” “with respect to.” In the Hebrew text vv. 10-12 are one long sentence. For stylistic reasons the translation divides this into two, using the verb “he did” at the beginning of v. 11 and “he displayed” at the beginning of v. 12.
