[6:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and the report about him was in all the land.” The Hebrew term אֶרֶץ (’erets, “land”) may also be translated “earth.”

[22:5]  ² 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]  ³ tn Heb “walk in all his paths.”

[22:5]  ⁴ tn Or “keep.”

[22:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “hug him.”

[22:5]  ⁶ tn Or “soul.”

[1:9]  ³ tn Heb “Have I not commanded you?” The rhetorical question emphasizes the importance of the following command by reminding the listener that it is being repeated.

[1:9]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps, “don’t get discouraged!”

[1:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[2:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “they went and came.”

[2:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“them”) is added for clarification.

[2:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause.

[2:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “The pursuers looked in all the way and did not find [them].”

[1:7]  ⁵ tn Or “Only be.”

[1:7]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Heb “commanded you.”

[1:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

[1:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[17:16]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15.

[17:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “and there are iron chariots among all the Canaanites who live in the land of the valley, to those who are in Beth Shean and its daughters and to those who are in the Valley of Jezreel.” Regarding the translation “chariots with iron-rimmed wheels” see Y. Yadin, The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands, 255 and R. Drews, “The ‘Chariots of Iron’ of Joshua and Judges,” JSOT 45 (1989): 15-23.

[24:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:3]  ⁸ tn Or “through.”

[24:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “of the house of slavery.”

[24:17]  ⁹ 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]  ¹⁰ tn Or “great signs.”

[24:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and he guarded us in all the way in which we walked and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.”

[23:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “go the way of all the earth.”

[23:14]  ¹⁰ tn Or “soul.”

[23:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “one word from all these words which the Lord your God spoke to you has not fallen, the whole has come to pass for you, one word from it has not fallen.”
