[4:5]  ¹ tn Heb “in the midst of” (so ASV).

[4:14]  ² tn Heb “to which you are crossing over to possess it.”

[6:1]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “where you are going over to possess it” (so NASB); NRSV “that you are about to cross into and occupy.”

[9:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “stiff-necked” (so KJV, NAB, NIV).

[11:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “which you are crossing over there to possess it.”

[11:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “rain of heaven.”

[15:4]  ⁶ tc After the phrase “the Lord” many mss and versions add “your God” to complete the usual full epithet.

[15:4]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[15:4]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess.”

[19:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “border.” Cf. NRSV “You must not move your neighbor’s boundary marker.”

[19:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “which they set off from the beginning.”

[19:14]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it.” This phrase has been left untranslated to avoid redundancy.

[21:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “slain [one].” The term חָלָל (khalal) suggests something other than a natural death (cf. Num 19:16; 23:24; Jer 51:52; Ezek 26:15; 30:24; 31:17-18).

[21:1]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text includes “to possess it,” but this has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[21:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “struck,” but in context a fatal blow is meant; cf. NLT “who committed the murder.”

[28:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “will cause pestilence to cling to you.”
