Deuteronomy 22:1

Laws Concerning Preservation of Life

22:1 When you see ⁵  your neighbor’s ⁶  ox or sheep going astray, do not ignore it; ⁷  you must return it without fail ⁸  to your neighbor.

Isaiah 45:5

45:5 I am the Lord, I have no peer, ⁹ 

there is no God but me.

I arm you for battle, ¹⁰  even though you do not recognize ¹¹  me.

Isaiah 45:21-22

45:21 Tell me! Present the evidence! ¹² 

Let them consult with one another!

Who predicted this in the past?

Who announced it beforehand?

Was it not I, the Lord?

I have no peer, there is no God but me,

a God who vindicates and delivers; ¹³ 

there is none but me.

45:22 Turn to me so you can be delivered, ¹⁴ 

all you who live in the earth’s remote regions!

[86:8]  ¹ tn Heb “and there are none like your acts.”

[32:31]  ² tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[32:39]  ³ tn Verses 39-42 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[32:39]  ⁴ tn Heb “deliver from” (so NRSV, NLT).

[22:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

[22:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

[22:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

[22:1]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”

[45:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “and there is none besides.” On the use of עוֹד (’od) here, see BDB 729 s.v. 1.c.

[45:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “gird you” (so NASB) or “strengthen you” (so NIV).

[45:5]  ¹¹ tn Or “know” (NAB, NCV, NRSV, TEV, CEV, NLT); NIV “have not acknowledged.”

[45:21]  ¹² tn Heb “Declare! Bring near!”; NASB “Declare and set forth your case.” See 41:21.

[45:21]  ¹³ tn Or “a righteous God and deliverer”; NASB, NIV, NRSV “a righteous God and a Savior.”

[45:22]  ¹⁴ tn The Niphal imperative with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose after the preceding imperative. The Niphal probably has a tolerative sense, “allow yourselves to be delivered, accept help.”
