[4:30]  ¹ sn The phrase is not used here in a technical sense for the eschaton, but rather refers to a future time when Israel will be punished for its sin and experience exile. See Deut 31:29.

[4:30]  ² tn Heb “hear his voice.” The expression is an idiom meaning “obey,” occurring in Deut 8:20; 9:23; 13:18; 21:18, 20; 26:14, 17; 27:10; 28:1-2, 15, 45, 62; 30:2, 8, 10, 20.

[4:36]  ³ tn Heb “and his words you heard from the midst of the fire.”

[5:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “who is there of all flesh.”

[8:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “so you will perish.”

[8:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[15:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “if listening you listen to the voice of.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “carefully.” The idiom “listen to the voice” means “obey.”

[15:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 15:4.

[15:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “by being careful to do.”

[15:5]  ¹² tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB); NAB “which I enjoin you today.”

[21:20]  ¹¹ tc The LXX and Smr read “to the men,” probably to conform to this phrase in v. 21. However, since judicial cases were the responsibility of the elders in such instances (cf. Deut 19:12; 21:3, 6; 25:7-8) the reading of the MT is likely original and correct here.

[26:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 26:2.

[27:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” Here “listen” (NAB “hearken”) means “obey” (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB). The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[28:62]  ¹⁷ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[28:62]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “have not listened to the voice of.”

[30:2]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); KJV, ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “children.”

[30:2]  ²⁰ tn Or “heart and soul” (also in vv. 6, 10).

[30:2]  ²¹ tn Heb “according to all.”

[30:8]  ²¹ tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I now enjoin on you.”

[33:7]  ²³ tn The words “the blessing” are supplied in the translation for clarity and stylistic reasons.
