[6:3]  ¹ tn Heb “may multiply greatly” (so NASB, NRSV); the words “in number” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[6:3]  ² tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 10, 18, 23).

[7:13]  ³ tn Heb “will bless the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[8:1]  ⁵ tn The singular term (מִצְוָה, mitsvah) includes the whole corpus of covenant stipulations, certainly the book of Deuteronomy at least (cf. Deut 5:28; 6:1, 25; 7:11; 11:8, 22; 15:5; 17:20; 19:9; 27:1; 30:11; 31:5). The plural (מִצְוֹת, mitsot) refers to individual stipulations (as in vv. 2, 6).

[8:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “commanding” (so NASB). For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, “giving” has been used in the translation (likewise in v. 11).

[8:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “multiply” (so KJV, NASB, NLT); NIV, NRSV “increase.”

[8:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 16, 18).

[14:24]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew text includes “way is so far from you that you are unable to carry it because the.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because they are redundant.

[19:6]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and overtake him, for the road is long.”

[19:6]  ¹² tn Heb “smite with respect to life,” that is, fatally.

[19:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “no judgment of death.”

[28:63]  ¹³ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

[30:16]  ¹⁵ 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]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “which you are going there to possess it.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.
