[4:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:21]  ² tn The Hebrew text includes “(as) an inheritance,” or “(as) a possession.”

[9:26]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[9:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “Lord Lord” (אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, ’adonay yÿhvih). The phrase is customarily rendered by Jewish tradition as “Lord God” (אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהִים, ’adonay ’elohim). See also the note on the phrase “Lord God” in Deut 3:24.

[9:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “your inheritance”; NLT “your special (very own NRSV) possession.” Israel is compared to landed property that one would inherit from his ancestors and pass on to his descendants.

[9:26]  ⁶ tn Heb “you have redeemed in your greatness.”

[9:26]  ⁷ tn Heb “by your strong hand.”

[15:11]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “make sure.”

[15:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “your brother.”

[16:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ⁸ tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”

[16:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “in your gates.”

[19:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “border.”

[21:21]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew term בִּעַרְתָּה (bi’artah), here and elsewhere in such contexts (cf. Deut 13:5; 17:7, 12; 19:19; 21:9), suggests God’s anger which consumes like fire (thus בָעַר, ba’ar, “to burn”). See H. Ringgren, TDOT 2:203-4.

[21:21]  ¹⁴ tc Some LXX traditions read הַנִּשְׁאָרִים (hannish’arim, “those who remain”) for the MT’s יִשְׂרָאֵל (yisra’el, “Israel”), understandable in light of Deut 19:20. However, the more difficult reading found in the MT is more likely original.

[22:6]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and the mother sitting upon the chicks or the eggs.”

[22:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “sons,” used here in a generic sense for offspring.
