[23:11]  ¹ tn Heb “Watch carefully yourselves so as to love the Lord your God.”

[10:18]  ² tn Heb “and appoint by it men to guard them.”

[22:5]  ³ tn Heb “But be very careful to do the commandment and the law which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, to love.”

[22:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “walk in all his paths.”

[22:5]  ⁵ tn Or “keep.”

[22:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “hug him.”

[22:5]  ⁷ tn Or “soul.”

[6:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “Only you keep [away] from what is set apart [to the Lord] so that you might not, as you are setting [it] apart, take some of what is set apart [to the Lord] and make the camp of Israel set apart [to destruction by the Lord] and bring trouble on it.”

[22:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “You have kept all which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, and you have listened to my voice, to all which I commanded you.”

[22:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “your brothers” (also in vv. 4, 7), but this does not refer to siblings or necessarily even to relatives. It refers to the Israelites of the remaining tribes.

[22:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “these many days.”

[22:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “you have kept the charge of the command of the Lord your God.”

[23:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “Be strong so you can be careful to do.”

[1:7]  ⁸ tn Or “Only be.”

[1:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “so you can be careful to do.” The use of the infinitive לִשְׁמֹר (lishmor, “to keep”) after the imperatives suggests that strength and bravery will be necessary for obedience. Another option is to take the form לִשְׁמֹר as a vocative lamed (ל) with imperative (see Isa 38:20 for an example of this construction), which could be translated, “Indeed, be careful!”

[1:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “commanded you.”

[1:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:7]  ¹² tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[1:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “mouth.”

[1:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).

[1:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “be careful to do.”

[1:8]  ¹² tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

[1:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[24:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “of the house of slavery.”

[24:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “for the Lord our God, he is the one who brought up us and our fathers from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.”

[24:17]  ¹² tn Or “great signs.”

[24:17]  ¹³ tn Heb “and he guarded us in all the way in which we walked and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.”
