Deuteronomy 34:5

34:5 So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab as the Lord had said.

[6:12]  ¹ tn Heb “out of the house of slavery” (so NASB, NRSV).

[6:21]  ¹ tn Heb “to your son.”

[6:21]  ² tn Heb “by a strong hand.” The image is that of a warrior who, with weapon in hand, overcomes his enemies. The Lord is commonly depicted as a divine warrior in the Book of Deuteronomy (cf. 5:15; 7:8; 9:26; 26:8).

[8:14]  ¹ tn The words “be sure” are not in the Hebrew text; vv. 12-14 are part of the previous sentence. For stylistic reasons a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 12 in the translation and the words “be sure” repeated from v. 11 to indicate the connection.

[23:15]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text includes “from his master,” but this would be redundant in English style.
