Deuteronomy 7:8

7:8 Rather it is because of his ²  love ³  for you and his faithfulness to the promise ⁴  he solemnly vowed ⁵  to your ancestors ⁶  that the Lord brought you out with great power, ⁷  redeeming ⁸  you from the place of slavery, from the power ⁹  of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Luke 1:54-55

1:54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering ¹⁰  his mercy, ¹¹ 

1:55 as he promised ¹²  to our ancestors, ¹³  to Abraham and to his descendants ¹⁴  forever.”

[26:42]  ¹ tn Heb “my covenant with Abraham I will remember.” The phrase “I will remember” has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[7:8]  ² tn Heb “the Lord’s.” See note on “He” in 7:6.

[7:8]  ³ tn For the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “to love”) as a term of choice or election, see note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37.

[7:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “oath.” This is a reference to the promises of the so-called “Abrahamic Covenant” (cf. Gen 15:13-16).

[7:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “swore on oath.”

[7:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 12, 13).

[7:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “by a strong hand” (NAB similar); NLT “with such amazing power.”

[7:8]  ⁸ sn Redeeming you from the place of slavery. The Hebrew verb translated “redeeming” (from the root פָּדָה, padah) has the idea of redemption by the payment of a ransom. The initial symbol of this was the Passover lamb, offered by Israel to the Lord as ransom in exchange for deliverance from bondage and death (Exod 12:1-14). Later, the firstborn sons of Israel, represented by the Levites, became the ransom (Num 3:11-13). These were all types of the redemption effected by the death of Christ who described his atoning work as “a ransom for many” (Matt 20:28; cf. 1 Pet 1:18).

[7:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “hand” (so KJV, NRSV), a metaphor for power or domination.

[1:54]  ¹⁰ tn Or “because he remembered mercy,” understanding the infinitive as causal.

[1:54]  ¹¹ tn Or “his [God’s] loyal love.”

[1:55]  ¹² tn Grk “as he spoke.” Since this is a reference to the covenant to Abraham, ἐλάλησεν (elalhsen) can be translated in context “as he promised.” God keeps his word.

[1:55]  ¹³ tn Grk “fathers.”

[1:55]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “his seed” (an idiom for offspring or descendants).
