Deuteronomy 4:40

4:40 Keep his statutes and commandments that I am setting forth ¹  today so that it may go well with you and your descendants and that you may enjoy longevity in the land that the Lord your God is about to give you as a permanent possession.

Deuteronomy 26:13

26:13 Then you shall say before the Lord your God, “I have removed the sacred offering ²  from my house and given it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows just as you have commanded me. ³  I have not violated or forgotten your commandments.

Deuteronomy 30:16

30:16 What ⁴  I am commanding you today is to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to obey his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances. Then you will live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess. ⁵ 

[4:40]  ¹ tn Heb “commanding” (so NRSV).

[26:13]  ² tn Heb “the sacred thing.” The term הַקֹּדֶשׁ (haqqodesh) likely refers to an offering normally set apart for the Lord but, as a third-year tithe, given on this occasion to people in need. Sometimes this is translated as “the sacred portion” (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV), but that could sound to a modern reader as if a part of the house were being removed and given away.

[26:13]  ³ tn Heb “according to all your commandment that you commanded me.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[30:16]  ³ tc A number of LXX mss insert before this verse, “if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God,” thus translating אֲשֶׁר (’asher) as “which” and the rest as “I am commanding you today, to love,” etc., “then you will live,” etc.

[30:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “which you are going there to possess it.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
